Guys,
My GTO3 feels a bit wobbly at the front. I don't think the shocks are leaking, but I would like to stiffen it up a little anyway.
I intend to upgrade to Nitrons, but would like to know which Nitron is best suited for fast road use. So, What are the part numbers and Where can I get them from?
Many thanks

No & No, the spring rates are higher on the Nitron's and l certainly wouldn't advise just changing the fronts.
If interested l have a used set pm me.

Definately worth doing but do all four or the car will handle like an sponge cake on ice!

The shocks for road use are NTCN0010S single adjustables - adjusts bump and rebound.

If I were you I'd talk to Dave at Jetstream who will supply and fit them and help set the car up properly. He did mine last year and the difference is fantastic!

?? Nitrons don't have spring rates--they have adjustable damping "rates". The difference is force depending on displacement (springs) or force depending on velocity (dampers).

Thanks l do know how a damper works, l was pointing out that the Nitron dampers are complete with springs which are stiffer than the standand ones!
