Hey guys

been using my nitron 46mm for about a year now

i have the track setup springs from nitron
the spring rates are 450lb front 600lb rear

I was wondering if i should change the springs to stiffer springs
if i do, should i try swift springs?

my car has quite a few aero mods,
i normally run r888 but thinking about running street tires (dunlop z2 etc)

picture below:


another question: who has experience of nitrons vs ohlins vs penske for our cars?

thanks

I changed mine from 450/600 to 550/700 and the first impression of 20km drive on the same road.
- Less body roll at similar dial.
- Feel more solid.
- Less spring travel.
- More like heavy car.

Spring manufactures don't really make any difference...as long as they are not failing (too brittle). My car came with Bilsteines, I replaced them with Nitrons with 550/700. Night and day difference!

Noob question, so bear with me, but by that same notion couldn't you have gotten 550/700 spring rates for the Bilstein and had them revalved for those springs and gotten the same result?

what was your old spring rates? did you need to get them revalved?
