Be nice, Fred. Elias did not buy these from us. But he did call us yesterday. Lo and behold, he was given good advice based on our track experience - even though he is running a very unconventional set-up.

We have ordered a shock dyno so will also be able to help when the time comes for a rebuild, upgrade or revalve. I'm happy to report that our Nitron offering will be getting more comprehensive and customizable.

Here is a pic of us at the Bedford Autodrome in England this past Saturday. The 111R is Nitron's new Elise and was sporting Nitron SA. I also got a couple of stints. What a blast!

BTW: we are having a Nitron Tech Seminar at WCLM at 11:30am this Saturday and Sunday.

We are also holding an alignment tech seminar Dec 5th at our shop.

So, at the track, i was only able to approximate the change in ride height with my adjustments, not actual ride height. My "after" measurements in the garage, with my same weighted buddy in the driver's seat show 120 rears 119 fronts, measured at the lift points. They appeared riding really high due to my slightly less than stock tire diameters not filling the wheel wells. This lack of rake worked for neutral steering (again with my tire sizes), and my next step is to keep the 1mm rake, but try to go a little lower by the same amount front and rear. The rear would require tender springs to not have a gap when unloaded, the front will be barely loaded.

I had the rear end up in the air tonight, and it will be interesting trying to fit the tenders. I can only back the adjuster ring about 1.5" above the spring until the adjuster ring hits the chassis.
