Bangers quotNquot Mas1697456953 Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Has anyone fitted Nitron shock's to their Seven? The units look well made at a reasonable price. What's the best spring rate for road/track use? I don't mind if it's a harsh ride, as it adds to the experience of a sportscar. On this note anyone driven an Elise? the ride's terrible in comparison to a Seven! Andy Marks VHPD7@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyedwardc Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I don't know how well they work but if they work half as good as they look then they're a bargain however much they cost. Does anyone know the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangers quotNquot Mas1697456953 Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 They do a whole kit including springs for £850 I know the argument that the std's work well, but they still look "pants"!!

Roger King Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Are you asking me about dampers? I know about as much about the non-engine bits as my accountant does! Chris Wheeler in the 7 Workshop is your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groutledge Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I have them fitted to my car ( Live axle with wide track ), I think I was one of the first, if not the first. I can confirm they are rather natty and very light!. You don't get the huge range of adjustment you do with a spax but that's because they are not not a "one shock valving fits all" like a spax. They are however far superior. Even with a live axle I can set back stiff and not have a problem on a bumpy circuit, i.e even though the ride is very firm yuo still get good traction and road holding!. On the whole I reckon they're worth it. I think I run 270lb front and 120lb rear. Chris Wheeler at the 7 workshop will be able to fill you in better.

philwaters Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I thnik that Raceline are running a set of Nitrons on the new Duratech car. Not sure how many miles they have done so far, but might be worth a call to see what they think - they look very nice if nothing else! 01483 811978 Phil Waters Zetec is in and running wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
