I run a Litchfield kit (AST based, their 'old' kit) and very happy with it, I have it set quite high on the damping and it is excellent on the road. I did fit Millway camber plates 'street' version and didn't like the impact on NVH and now back to stock top mounts but fiiited the negative camber hubs and love it, kept 90% of the turn in and precision feels much better on NVH and some how feels more balanced. I did have the factory Nirton R1 suspension on a mini JCW challenge and wouldn't touch nitro again on a road car...
10,000 miles 3 top mounts shot, broken, all dampers needed completely rebuilding 2 completely failed. Truly horrible and mini pointed at the note in the brochure "to keep the suspension in top performance we recommend servicing the shock absorbers every 12-18,00 miles" What they should have said was these will be totally useless in 2 years and 10,000 miles and you will be off the road for 4months.....
I had a sense of humour failure. speaking to Nitron the idea that I would just use them for 10k miles and expect them to be fine was almost a suprise !
Oh and the front top mounts were replaced anyway after 4k miles seemingly mini had forget to mention that some drivers might actually use them in the wet
Local dealer was excellent and my £3k bill dissapeared. But lesson learn't with Nitron for me (not saying these won't be great just saying Im coming out in a cold sweat...)
