Just agreed with the good chaps at Offords to fit my car with a set of Nitrons. Was having a chat about different setups & just wondered how other people set their's up?
Cheers

ask Joolz at Joospeed - he has lots of experience with Nitrons

If you want his expertise I guess he would also like to have sold you the Nitrons

Haha. Yeah. The guys at Offords know what they're talking about but there are different setups. Some people like a ride with a bit of give whilst more hardcore people want it like a race car.
Just wondered how other people on here have their cars & if they change the settings for different drives...?

You can also call Nitron. Guy has always been very helpful and patient whenever I've called him.

Do it yourself, just keep a note book with the settings as you change them. This should apply to all your settings anyway. Remember there are a lot of different spring ratings fitted to suit different owners - so settings are not really transferable (even if you ignore gemoetry & driving style). If Offords did'nt give you the advice you needed, you should probably have gone to someone like Joolz, at least they should hand you the car back with the settings at a good starting point for you to 'fine tune'. If you wanted a one size fits all solution - the standard TVR dampers/springs are for you.

HTH, Dave

No, Offords were good - I'm getting it with starting settings that I can then change. I wanted adjustables so that I could have different settings for road & track.
I just wondered how other people like them set up on the road?? Just out of interest really.
