Re: Nitrons...which ones?
you dont NEED them. the car will go perfectly well without them. Its not like you need to save half a second at knockhill.

Re: Nitrons...which ones?
I have the 2 way Nitrons, just to play devils advocate, and really like the ability to fcuk about with them. It's really easy to get them in the ball park but harder to get them exactly how you want them. Don't know if it's worth the extra money over the 1 ways. I ended up with mine because they cost less than 1 ways from Nitron.

Re: Nitrons...which ones?
Is Randy better to talk to about spring combinations that Nitron?
I find the springs on the S2 a bit on the stiff side for what we use the car for now.
It's not the damping as the car starts to skip when it's turned down too low.

Re: Nitrons...which ones?
He seemed very clued up when I spoke to him. I just told him what I'd be using my car for, He told me what I needed, then told me what he recomended then I bought it. I wanted to buy an uprated arb but he said to wait until I've got the nitrons fitted and set up and see if I still felt I wanted one...most other places would have just sold me one.

Re: Nitrons...which ones?
Randy uses very stiff springs, even for road cars, so i doubt he'll agree with your idea's, but he's approachable enough, send him a U2U on seloc
Re: Nitrons...which ones?
I'm not on u2u - but I find with the current set up that on poor roads my feet back be bounced off the pedals!
