Sell them to Ade or Jamie after all they are Spoon

Craig IIRC you had to change your front springs on the Nitrons, was this because they were too short to get the ride height right?

Paper Lawyer

Yep, the front dampers are unusually long and so the springs neeedd to be longer than the springs Nitron had in stock when I first took the car in. My front end was VERY low, I've since raised the front ride height 10-15mm.

I'd better check they fit the longer ones to mine then

Stop fretting! They have a component list - its like mechano and the lads assemble the shocks from the list for an S2000 spec I've been the guinea pig for the rest of you

mikey k

I can see the resemblence

Checked my stock ride height 665mm front AND back

I have my ride heights at work Mikey - I'll dig them out when I'm in work tomorrow. FWIW I recall that they didn't match up with the OEM heights Biker1 told me.

I'm going to start with a 25mm drop - when Juan gets my other CE28's to me

Well, the Nitrons proved to be a great success on track yesterday (setting 12 from full soft of 18 clicks). Whilst I was mincing about a bit through the Craner Curves etc (combination of lack of raw red meat in my diet and a lack of track time caused by a breach of Donington's strict sound limit) my car was clearly handling really well, taking the chicane with great aplomb. I passengered in my mate's standard S2000 and was suprised how much bodyroll there was and how unsettled the car could be through a combination of turns.

I'm now of the opnion that fannying about with manifolds etc should come second to decent chassis/suspension set ups, oh, and a change in final drive if you intend to track the car rather than do loads of motorway miles.
