New Nitron Uprights

I am happy to announce new race focused uprights developed by Nitron. They have designed both Front Uprights and Rear Uprights for our cars. These are focused on allowing a 25mm lower ride height while maintaining factory designed suspension geometry. Pricing approx $2200-2500/pair. Limited availability so call us directly if you are interested.

I am leaving for England on Sunday for complete training on these and more of their new items. Additionally we are developing full rebuild and revalve service here for all Nitron products.

Here are some Key Features for the Front:
  • Aluminium upright 5-axis billet machined in 7075-T6 and HARD ANODISED
  • TITANIUM bottom spindle with rolled threads
  • Conical spacers in stainless steel for lower Ti spindleM16 nyloc nut for lower Ti spindle
  • High tensile electroplated 12.9 grade bearing bolts M12 (specially made)


Here are some Key Features for the Rears:
  • Aluminium upright 5-axis billet machined in 7075-T6 and HARD ANODISED
  • TITANIUM bottom main spindle with rolled threads
  • Conical spacers in stainless steel for lower Ti spindle
  • M16 nyloc nut for lower Ti spindle
  • TITANIUM bottom toe-link spindle with rolled threads
  • Conical spacers in stainless steel for toe-link Ti spindle
  • M12 K-nut for toe-link Ti spindle
  • High tensile electroplated 12.9 grade bearing bolts M12 (specially made)

Special CF shroud has also been designed to duct cool air into the uprights. See below. Nitron has pulled out all the stops to design the very best kit available.


Several other tasty Nitron bits will become available shortly. You can see them previewed in the pic above.

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails

They are lighter but I don't have the final #s. Brake options are still being refined so I will let you know after I return.

Nitron have months of engineering into these along with their years of experience. They are a race focused.

We will have them on display at WCLM & LCS. Guy Evans, Nitron owner, will be in attendance to review these and other tasty bits.
