Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I am working with Nitron in the UK to develop a single adjustable 60% track, 40% road dampers for the M2 at the moment.

Sure some of you will have heard of Nitron Racing , Ill keep the thread updated with progress.

Moving forward with this.
Super cool camber / castor adjustable front top plates.
Pics show rapid prototypes which we are using to assess the fitment.

Nice - nitron make some good gear but punters need deep pockets to play at this level.

These will be on par pricewise with KW CS, AST 3way etc.

Available Via Ross Sport Ltd in the UK.

I'm a little lost. The pictures are of a R3 setup but u are talking of a R1 setup which is single combined adjustment for compression and rebound correct? So the indicative pricing comparisons are for the R3 or R1.

Sorry that that’s clear.
Initial plan was to do a one-way set but in order to assess the feasibility of housing the external reservoirs we ended up doing the three-way set. The one-way set is based on the same bodies without the external reservoirs.

What is the price of those Nitron?

I have Nitron's R3 kit and am loving it, their build quality is simply jaw-dropping.

With a coilover rear end, I hope you're running a cage with rear shock tower bracing.

Looks to me like your kit would be difficult to adjust front and rear compression damping without first removing the wheels because of the piggyback shock configuration.

As these kits are fully custom, I ordered mine with an external shock reservoir connected via a hydraulic hose as an alternative so you can place the reservoirs anywhere you wish for ease of access.

My install can be seen HERE.

Adjustment is fairly easy, rears you have to jack up to get access but the wheel can stay on, fronts can access with wheels on full lock.
To be fair I have them dialled in to my preference for dry conditions now so dont need to touch anything.
If you want the reservoirs external this can be done no problem, I just decided this piggy back style would suit my needs better.

Nice write up by the way.

Beautiful pieces! What are the spring rates on the R3s? Also, the camber plate looks like a nice piece of kit. Any chance these would work on the stock M2 suspension?

ANILE8 · 08-06-2018, 05:26 PM

The spring rates are whatever you want as they build them to your own specs. Everything is custom with Nitron. Not sure about the camber plates as I have never seen them on an OEM setup, but it might be possible if you specifically want them. However, there are many other camber plate options on the market if this is all you require.

MR RIZK · 08-25-2018, 07:37 AM

Ross W any pictures on the amount of clearance in the rear between the wheel and the shock using oem wheel/tire combo. Also any concerns with the strength of the top shock tower on the M2. (obviously questioning for the rear coil-over setup)
