Thanks Rich

 

it's true that it can be confusing!

 

RECEIVED THIS MORNING!

 

NICE! Can't wait to hear your thoughts. The more pics and info the better!

btw, did you get the airbag light sorted out?

 

Open the box:


@Rich, i send you a PM later about airbag light if it's ok for you

 

Those look like serious business! Seriously beautiful.

Of course!

 

Nice parts !
NTR R1 or NTR R3 ?

 

They look like the R1
R3 has adjustable camber plates and external reservoirs.

 

Exactly! At first I had ordered R3. I spoke with my mechanic told me that as this is only for track, it's useless and it is difficult to adjust correctly.
So I canceled my order and took R1.

 

Are those like KW Coilovers? Why not just do a set of springs on a street car corner balancing and chassis setup are not too critical.

 

Spring choices are H&R (linear and lots of drop) or VelocityAP (progressive and more reasonable drop). H&R are great on track but can be harsh on the street. VelocityAP were made to address concerns about H&R, but progressive aren't as "good" on track*.

For coilivers, KW only makes the V3 for us, which uses progressive springs. Nitron uses linear springs.

So it really boils down to spring type and amount of drop you want. I'm watching the Nitron threads to see how much people like them.

*for anyone unaware of the differences between linear and progressive springs, get your Googles going lol

 

I'm considering the H&R springs for the drop/stance of but how are they with sportpack struts around the track? I plan to track my car and I don't really daily drive it.

 

From what people have said, they don't pair well with the sport pack struts and you'll end up with a pogo effect. I haven't driven with that pairing myself, but I really like them on the standard struts. I'm looking at upgrading to coilovers (with linear springs) as I intend to get a lot more track time than I have been so far.

 

I tried googling any one with reviews with the H&R on sport pack struts, but none to be found. I don't mind the stiff and harsh ride. I actually the race car feel. Coilovers would obviously be the best option, I might just give the H&R a go on the sport pack then decide whether to go coilovers. I'm with the linear spring rates

 

At first I had put short springs (KN) on the original suspensions.

Then when BR installed the adjustable suspension hardness (two positions), I kept short springs.

Then I brought up the anti-roll bars of larger diameters, always with BR.

I also head several geometry settings, the best has been done by the team Rebellion Racing (http://www.rebellion-racing.com).

You should know that I ride hard and the car underwent many tests (dyno and road).

The supensions are the only thing I'm not completely satisfied yet.

I bought a Lamborghini Superleggera, which has an incredible setting, better over my Vantage. It is softer than the postion "hard" Vantage (which skips and skates) and less flexible than the "soft" position Vantage (pitching too). I've realized that a suspension "hard" is not necessarily the best solution (road holding, comfort, ...)

So I decide to go on a complete system for my suspensions.
I selected four brands between $ 2,000 and $ 11,000, as advised by BR, Novidem, my mechanic and forums. Then I looked for an approval for my vehicle.
You should know that my car is over highway and short circuit, that is why the 5-way been eliminated.

On paper, the Nitron are the best compromise. For now, I have no factual elements since I have not tested them myself. Schirmer uses the Nitron for its V8 BMW M3 GT on the Ring (http://www.team-schirmer.com/).

The suspensions will rise the first week of January 2016, I will make you feedback.
