Hey .org.
Background:
Currently run Nitron Street Series 1, with all other steering and suspension components OEM other than 16/17 / 205/225 and a custom geo.
Car used to be mainly used on the road, but is now mainly used on track, specifically only really Castle Combe.
Ride height is currently 125f/130r ish and I want to reduce it. With current ride heights, there is absoutely no preload on any corner and reducing the ride height any more will mean the spring is inches from the collar when unloaded.
I am generally happy with the NSS, but they are 5 years old, probably due a service, and if I could justify new shocks then I would...
Questions:
1) Has anybody fit helpers to NSS1, front and rear, in order to get the desired ride height (110/115 if required) without the spring flopping around when not loaded? Is this just masking a problem / sticky tape and bluetack?
2) If I wanted new shocks to meet the following criteria, what would you suggest?
-Under £1500
-Good, but little needed aftersales
-1 way adjustable damping
-Adjustable ride height down to 110/115 if required
-Option of helpers front and rear if required
-A common spring size, so I can dick about with rates at low cost
-And clearly, a good, recommended shock for track use
