Thank You Spires and Nitron

How has Nitron solved the knocking in the rear problem...I have the same knocking but last time I talked to them Ben said it was all ok...just what they sounded like!.......Must say fucking good suspension though! And I ve been through Bilstein PSS10, KWv3, Intrax, standard M3 and CSL.....Nitron by ftw

80N/m front and progressive rear 45-82-110N/m standard mounting position.

No issues with the original setup other than the rear knocking, just wanted to try higher spring rates and whilst doing that went with the rear coilover.

What kit you running O'Neill?

I had a similar problem with my old Nitrons knocking at the rear, it's when you try and lower the car too much they knock.

No problems since i've changed to the rear coilovers too, car is so much better, I think I'm running the same spring rates as you.

How do you find the ride now?

Excellent O'Neil - keep us posted on how you get on with new set up.

I find this how knocking issue strange. Was this even on track or only on road (i.e. pot holes etc)?
What rubbers did you guys run on the separate springs? Did you run the OEM 5mm spring pad on bottom of spring (found at top on OEM CSL set up) and Nitron's 2mm rubber pad on top of height adjuster?

More tyre noise on the motorway but sounds like race car full throttle:smokin:

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: - get them out then! :smokin:

[O'Neill]

The knocking I had wasn't to do with ride height or springs, it was the rear dampers.

The noise was within the damper, hence the dampers being replaced.

Dave (pooky) might elaborate as I don't have a clue about the internals of dampers:119:

Good to hear the noise is all fixed now, let us know how you think it feels on Saturday.

Could be a few reasons for the rear damper knock, I'll let Nitron understand what's happened and report back.
