I have had a set of nitrons for a year now and this is the second time I have had the ride height adjusted due to sagging.

I am being told that the springs on the nitrons are not great and I should upgrade to a better brand (springs) to resolve the problem.

Any one else had problems with Nitron springs?

I think that is probably nonesense, almost certainly just the spring seats gradually unwinding themselves and hence needing to be re-adjusted back to the right position. You could prove it for sure by measuring the free length of the spring when it was removed from the damper, I would put money on it being spot on the original length. Just guessing, but presumably the people who said this don't supply Nitron themselves?

I have also been told that the quality of some of the Nitron springs is lacking. I know of at least one case where springs have gone back to be looked at (by Nitron I believe) because of sagging.

Dont even tell me that, I've just had mine done! I hope it was the early days that the problems reference and not the current line. Nobody gets it right first time. But the current crop are super. Find out which ones you have on and their serial number and check up with Nitron to find out when they were manufactured????
