I’m assuming it’s the k series as last time I looked the 46mm one way shocks are only for the k-series, for Toyota you need 3 way for 46mm or 40mm for one way. The intax shocks are 36mm so I don’t think the 40mm are much of a compromise

the helper springs will act like spacers if a wheel goes to full extension but not a lot else. A longer spring would effectively decrease its stiffness and a shorter spring without the helper spring would rattle about if you went full extension and more importantly bottom out. I have oversized wheels/tires so going lower is not an option. I guess the shock will not bottom out at that amount of spring compression. Great write up and I think it helps with people trying to visualize the adapter needed. Do you feel the spring is overly soft? or is the shorter spring effectively making up for the lower rating?
I can, but I do not think I will be approved since the rear driver side has a small leak... I really hope Nitron will be able to provide the papers.Not ideal but can you throw the original shocks on while you sort it out
It is impossible to get the car approved in Norway without the papers.
NITRON refuses to make the papers needed and now also refuses to take back the kit.
So this is a pretty horrid situation, and I am extremely disappointed by how Nitron is handling this...
What a horrible situation... How can they refuse to give required paper for a product they sell in EU ??
And how are we supposed to maintain our costly cars if we're unable to get original replacement pieces from Bildstein ? This is becoming crazy !
I was never told I could end up in such a situation here... Hope it won't be an issue in France
Also remember the roadster spring is a lot longer effectively making your 700 spring stiffer. I don’t remember the equation but I know it’s in Herb Adams chassis design book that was once my bible back before books came before internet. I assume any chassis design book will give you the calculations thought. The helper spring compresses making the 700lb spring 25% shorter than the 900. I bet it’s close. The Nitrons obvious ability is the valving that controls the spring, not the other way around.
wow, quite the journey, they obviously are thinking the lotus Elise with the shorter shocks are what’s used on the roadster. Not the longer ones. If that’s the fundamental belief they are using then no one will get the correct shocks from here on in. That’s commercial suicide in my book.
