Possibly interested as long as the numbers are right and someone can put my mind at rest regarding the following. I seem to remember one hell of a long "discussion" centred around nitrons not been long enough to begin with and then once modded to be long enough (new eyelet??) On full droop the springs became unseated and to solve this helper springs were needed. I may be very much mistaken so feel free to correct me. Do these also need new mounting brackets spacers and bolts and will these be supplied? Cheers

[TFD]

I think this droop thing was solved. But it would be nice if Matt could answer these questions. Want to know as well.

[Captain Vimes]

NSS weren't affected by the droop issue. I have them on my vx and the springs are preloaded at normal ride height ie. no loose springs.

[Matthew Bentley Racing Ltd]

Correct. At proper ride heights the springs are fine and droop is fine. If you want to go really low you will need helpers which I can sort for you if needed

[Haston]

So can you confirm they are a direct fit as it was also mentioned they were too short?

[Matthew Bentley Racing Ltd]

No direct fit. Correct lengths

whats the deadline on these? i.e. before xmas?

[Rosssco]

I'm actually surprised you don't have at least 20 signing up for these - ~£625 for a set of adjustable monotube dampers by a manufacturer who knows what thery're doing, with good reliablity / quality.. I thought they were cheap at normal prices of ~£800..!

[ciderbooze]

So Correct length---tick No droop issues at normal ride heights ---tick No bolts brackets or spacers required-----tick looking good

I till keep open for a week or so. See how it goes.

 

Also waiting on confirmation on a few things from Nitron.

[export001]

hmm I have a week to think about it... and count some coppers

I hate the fact VAT is on top... why should they get a cut for the pleasure of shiney new shocks :/

Who, the government? Summat to do with paying for services like the NHS. You'll pay more each year on VAT your food, so just forget about it and keep smiling. It may even be used to pay for the front 0.2mm of a goverment shell with Syria being its end destination if you are so inclined.

I was sure they came with brackets.. The bolts can be reused, or cheap from the likes of Eliseparts..
