jackettc 2 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi, I hear Chris Randall has his own variant of the Nitron NTR 1-way 46mm suspension kit, available only from Hoffman's. Has anyone here had this kit fitted, and if so have you got any feedback, like is it too much on the road, and what is the improvement on track, etc. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmanns 51 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks @Bibs for tagging me in. Chris is this for your Exige? Chris developed his own valving in conjunction with Nitron. There is nothing 'wrong' with the standard Nitron kit, Chris just wanted something a little different! The main difference you will feel on the road is that the Hofmanns valving is designed to be a little more supple on minor bumps/compressions, we also tailor the spring choice exactly to you rather than offering a 'fast road' spring rate etc. More than happy to answer any questions you may have on either setup, feel free to call on 01491 848800.

alias23 1,536 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 For what its worth.... I can highly recommend @[email protected] for spec'ing Nitrons - He was extremely knowledgable and helpful when I had mine built with quite specific custom requirements!

Chrisc 46 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ould be nice to have a V6 track day. Or test day for Nitron 1 way and 3 way! As this will be the route i go as well. Very well made as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NW76 499 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 @alias23 Imran: which way did you go with the Nitrons? 1, 2 or 3way? next thing for me is suspension ... and I am seriously thinking about Nitrons 3 way... but have not found anybody yet that has them... @[email protected] whats your take on the 3-way? I am 50/50 track and road and therefore want a setup that still works on road and not only on track... which route should I go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alias23 1,536 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm running one way however must admit that id love remote adjustment as removing the rear wheels to adjust every time is a real PITA although one way are significantly cheaper than 2 or 3 way. Depends how much you 'need' and will use the adjustment. There are plenty of folks running 3-way not heard a bad word everyone very happy a number of which I know where installed by Hoffmans 1 Quote www.alias23.com Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmanns 51 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 @NW76 it all depends how much adjustment you want! 1 ways are 'easier' to adjust with the single rebound/compression adjuster, however you will get a much wider range of adjustment with a 3 way kit so can be tailored to different usages better than 1 way. The 1 way will be a huge improvement over the standard dampers, but if you can justify the price increase of the 3 way they are absolutely fantastic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NW76 499 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Pat, thanks a lot! I am not sure how often I really would end up changig the settings ... but if it is easy (remote adjustment) certainly than if I have to always remove the rear wheels... I will try the Oehlins next week and then make up my mind which route to go... Cheers Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freejack 113 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 @NW76 My experience with adjustable dampers for guys like us, which are not paid for driving a car, is as follows. I really liked to adjust the suspensions, but at least, I had two or maybe three settings. One for the road, one for flat track, one for the Northloop (Nürburgring). At the RIng, you need much more negative stroke length, why this is the real task to handle. Finally it ends up in two settings - road and track. Two way adjustment I really appreciate, one way would not be enough for me. Much more than damper settings you need to talk about spring rate, because this is the main task to find out. Without tough spring rate you will not be happy on track, with the required spring rate on track, you won't get lucky on street. At least it will end up with a second car 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
