Two days later I caught up with Guy and his knowledge, enthusiasm (mirrored by his team, Pete and Ben) and honesty immediately impressed me. He confirmed that Nitron had not supplied a suspension set up for the S2000 but, after I sent him some exploded diagrams of the S2000 dampers, felt that it would be relatively quick and easy to build some replacement dampers due to the similarity of the S2000 dampers with those found on Skylines, RX7s and other Japanese cars. And with that I booked my car and dropped it off to Nitron

Good spot The Sport shock went on momentarily just for photos for you guys, the bolt was tightened up when the Race shocks went on.

I should add that Nitron ware not intending to offer an installation service for future car kits but are considering who they would recommend to fit the shocks, including a garage opposite their premises If you are technically competent then you may be able to fit the shocks yourself but I understand that getting the OEM shocks is a bit of a pig, the shocks are unsually long. Large metal implements were used to lever them off
