[Beedub]

No one??? Lol ohh well!!

What car you thinking of putting them on? worked ok on my caterham but you can buy better!!

[Steff]

No, I had them on my elise and they were great, so I'd be interested in peoples experience of them on a much heavier car.

i only went for a 10mm drop all round... i absolutly HATE slammed cars, does the car no favours imo.
spring rates are slightly different so kit will take about 3 weeks to build, it will be nice to set the car up with proper castor/camber.

really looking forward to the car being setup by centre gravity... i think the car will now really come into its own, time to get it to the track this year and enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!

Depends on what you want to spend i suppose.Ohlins have given better results on the caterham and a few other race cars have used a couple more types with better results ie better tyre wear and just better results.In fact one race team sent some nitron dampers back 3 times to be revalved as the tyres just kept graining.they asked another manufacturer to make some dampers with the same information and the car was better altogether and no graining.
On road cars most fully adjustable suspension kits will give fantastic results if they are well set up as standard dampers are just that.I put kw suspension on the m3 as they do a lot of testing and spend a lot of time with the cars.If you buy an m3 with dct and decide to put nitrons on it you still have to buy the kit that deactivates the dct from kw!!so i would prefer to buy the kit of a company that has fully developed a complete system.
