Racing Reds

Right guys. I just fitted these.

coming from standard shocks all i can say is WOW.

such a massive change, i usually find suspension changes are just 'OK' but these have really made a big difference.

I dialed in 20 clicks of rebound, as a mid way point and the car now feels so much more refined, it drives beautifully and has given me a lot more confidence now.

just thought id share that with you all.

I fitted these to my T350 and was also impressed.

State your source, Riddle. Looking to change my shocks - I've got Gaz Golds on now, but they're really not up to the job.

And what sort of money?

Ta

Andy.

[RiddleMcFiddle]

yeah ive had GAZ before on other cars and not been impressed.

I bought them 2nd hand from shapeshifter on here, they had covered just 2000 miles.

Bargain really (thanks mike) and have actually transformed the car. the new refinement is the most impressive improvement.

My old shocks may have been knackered though, didnt look just binned them.

[alinton]

Ah you beat me to them!

Not to worry, its good to know that they feel good, I think I'll splash out on a set.

Cheers

Andy.

Had mine fitted last year and like you was very impressed! Had a full set up done and the difference really is night and day. Only downside is it does seem quite sensitive over rough roads at speed.

I'm not sure when yours where originally bought but be aware that there was a faulty batch of these - the seals went.

Two of them were leaking on mine after only a couple of months.

The newer ones are supposed to be much better and Nitron were pretty good and sorting mine out.

Yep heard about that, was in for a service last week and all seems fine.

[RiddleMcFiddle]

yeah one of mine is knackered, and nitron have sent out a new one free of charge.

Awesome service! could not believe they would just send me a new shock without getting the old one back first!

Do you think they'd send me 4 if I pretended I had 4 leaking ??

[Chequred Demon]

I had Racing Reds and full alignment completed in April.

Just been serviced and no problems found.

Seems to handle very predictably indeed with a pleasant ride on most surfaces, very controllable on the limit, nice n even tyre scrub on all four wheels.

So, I'm poised to buy a set.

On the cusp, as it were.

Any recommendations on where from?

Andy.

[RiddleMcFiddle]

id go straight to nitron themselves, im sure they sell direct.
