Nitrons fitted - What a difference!!!

[Ticker]

Picked my beastie up from Prestige Performance cars last Wednsday, drive back in rain (torrential), couldn`t really tell a difference, as not trying it in the wet, but it did feel more stable, then I took it out this weekend,

WHAT A TRANSFORMATION - Man, this has took driving enjoyment to another level. Why did I not have this done before. The whole handling of the tusc has been transformed, it like driving another car. Cant stop driving it, any way, gotta go, I feel another blat coming on

Tuscs rule!!!

Hi,

Paul from PPC set them on mid range, halfway between the softest and hardest setting, (Sorry , do not know exact setting details, but can find out if u want), and he stated to run them for a couple of weeks and return, andf he will reset according to my requirements. If it gets any better than this , then its party time. Excellent service, and friendly atmosphere, good all round experience.

Hi Dave

When i fitted mine i set them at midway,mine even looks about 25mm lower all round.Noticed a big difference on braking/acceleration just seems to stick to the road more......When you take yours back to Prestige can you let me know
what your final settings are,i know everyone different but it just gives me an idea....cheers






Anyone want a set of RR coilovers
very good nick,(not as pretty as the nitrons)but they do the job.......

Silvergriff,

will do, although it is gonna be a couple of weeks to bed in , and get a feel for the dynamics. You are right though, the handling is vastly improved on previous.

Know what you mean. Does indeed transform handling.
I found these settings best for me.
Road use - Front up 6 clicks from soft, Rear up 12 clicks.
Track use - Front up 12 , rear up 18.
Breakaway on track was much more progressive and controlables than before and on the road huge improvement in general stability.
Enjoy!
