    Nitron elec-TRON coilovers availabilty

    As far as I am aware, they’re both the same company. I think the owner moved from UK to California.

    No new SatNav maps (ever?) - UK at least

    Use your phone via andriod or carplay. That way you'll get updates pushed constantly -traffic updates, crash reports, business name changes etc. . You're literally wasting your time with built in systems in most cars unless they are connected to the internet.

    Turbo Emira: Nitron Install & Tuning

    How are you getting on with them over broken road surfaces at low speeds? Mine make a weird rattling noise coming from the actual shocks that sounds like something is loose.

    To Corner balance or not to Corner balance

    You'll need adjustable drop links to balance it properly

    Around -15 for looks. Think the OEM is best for handling as it has the optimal roll centre.

    Nitron Suspension Development

    I have the fast road. If ordering again I'd probably go a custom rate between the fast road and clubsport.

    Nitron Suspension Development

    If you have the softer springs and not tracking too often you could close down the dampening for track use. It makes a big different in reducing roll. ...but if your track sessions are too long it could end up heating the oil up resulting in less dampening force and shorter times between service...

    I4 Vs V6

    I think the V6 manual suits the car the best after driving both. You may be able to extract better pace with the I4 but to me the Emira is on the side of a GT car because of its weight and better suited to the v6. Much more drama and sense of occasion from v6 partly due to the sound.

    Used prices have increased slightly in Uk recently.

    Is anyone here running Nitron Fastroad or Clubsport suspension?

    I went from touring to fast road. I imagine they would feel pretty similar to your sports setup with the added benefit of adjustability to make them feel harder or softer depending on your preference.
