Vantage Nitron Adjustable Coilovers

Are there any users out there of the Nitron Coilover solution on a Vantage that can provide some feedback on performance? Fitment with 9 inch front and 11 inch rear wheels? Spring rates being used that work well for a street / track application?

Thanks in advance!

No response from the forum but I have heard some interest on other threads regading this topic so I will provide some detail here -

I ordered the Nitron R1 Kit recently. I exchanged several e-mails with Nitron and VelocityAP/Stuart. I finally spoke to Alex with Nitron UK on the phone and placed my order. Stuart and Alex were very helpful tailoring this application and fitment to my needs! These will be built with spring rates and valving for a track set up. This will be between Nitron's standard and full race kit.

I explored two other suspension options - But just felt this was the best solution to suit my needs. As well as the vendors were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful.

I will provide detail on the product, install and performance once they arrive.

I look forward to your review. There are not many coilover options available for our cars. I'm particularly interested in the handling improvements on the track and adjustability and driving comfort on the street. Thanks.

Yes - these will be single adjustable - they will have a pin mount adjuster on the top of the shock with flexible extenders so I can adjust them from the trunk and under the hood. I plan to install with a very tasteful and functional approach.

The plans for the V8VS will also be a track based alignment as well as corner balancing - hopefully this will be a success! Plan to have this dialed in for the spring at Barber Motorsports Park

The Coilovers arrived this week and I must say they are very nice! Excellent build quality!

Hopefully this weekend I will get them installed and will provide a report

Here is a photo of my Vantage S sitting on the H&R springs - the springs and the like new P-Zero Nero's 255 30 20 / 305 25 20 will be for sale very soon as I plan on moving to PSC2 as well -
