I think the 190 stuff is adjustable in more ways than the 135R.

I could be talking b0llocks but I think the 135R is only adustable in height where as the 190 is fully adjustable.

I think there was an option for 2-way adjustable jobs, but it wasn't the standard kit. I think standard is pretty much the same as 135R with only adjustable height & adjustable front ARB.

For road, you probably don't wanna go much lower than 120 or 115 otherwise those illegal speed bumps are gonna get ya. I'm running 120 front and rear. But, you don't need 2-way adjustable suspension for that.. just adjustable platforms as per the 135R or 190R standard ones.

If you go for 2-ways (nitrons?), I believe you can alter the bump/rebound settings which basically means that you can set it how you please... softer for road, or harder for track?... but, question is... would you adjust it, or would you set and forget?

The S2 LSS is quite hard on road... just so you know... and there's not really much you can do to help that. If upgrading, probably nitrons would be a good bet (I think they are 2-way similar to the optional 190's)

Cheers mate. Cant justify spending £1k on nitrons. Theres a set of 190s for sale. Was thinking that the 190 stuff would be better than the standerd stuff.

If it's the 2-way ones, then, go for it !! Even the standard ones will be good for track, but not sure if I'd bother for road.
