Apart from cost, is there anything inhibiting the fitment of one of these?

I'd be very interested to see if this can become a reality.

I was going to start a thread myself on this subject, so glad someone is thinking the same as me.

From what I understand this is a simple fit to any version of coilover fitted to a Noble so is completely do-able. My only issue is with the price! I was kind of hoping that someone would come along and say they know someone who knows someone who can get a group buy on a sniper cheap alternative, but alas.....

These may be better, made in UK.
Cheaper, you'lll need to source your own pipelines though.
I was thinking of having them for the front of my Ultima GTR

Quite, never grounded My M400 but doesn't the GTO3/(R) have a splitter fitted standard that increases the overhang compared to the M400 which has no splitter?
It's marginal on the Ultima, carpark ramps are more of a problem for mine.

My GTO3 scrapes the front when i go into the underground car park it lives in without a splitter and i'll be getting the car back complete with new carbon splitter this weekend so not sure how i'm going to get on.
Although i did discover that if i go down the ramp backwards, the front didnt scrape. Just. Imagine it will with a splitter though frown

back to getting planks of MDF out each time i take it out / put it back!

Your rear diffuser is non standard though so does it hang lower? I admit, given the choice I'd fit this kit to all four wheels if the cost was a little more realistic.

The ad says he's open to offers, what do you call realistic for two bespoke machined lifters/rams and a hydraulic pump out of curiosity?

know someone who does this to ultima's... requires nitrons to be fitted though as thats the shock he designed it for!

simple, cheap (if you have nitrons already) and effective.

Dont have an issue with mine though even with a splitter so don't think I need them!

What's special about Nitrons Andy? Aren't they 2 1/4" like everything else?

Have you got some contact details? I have Protek shocks fitted i can't imagine it would be too difficult to re-machine the seat or make an adapter seat to suit on my lathe.

they go on the shock body under the spring, I know intrax and penski def cane be adapted for them to fit.... so answer is they might be machineable to fit our protec, but its not a certainty.
