Got Information from Nitron.co.uk, thought I would share it over here: "With the NSS you should be able to lower the car to around 110/120 ride height, the soft spring rates and shorter open lengths make this possible. Also, you should not go any lower then this because there is a chance of the rear upper wishbones striking the chassis in bump.""

What spring rates do the nss come with, what options, what recommendations?

IIRC 325/400. That suggests that you really want an uprated ARB.

They only come with the standard spring rates. I don't know if you can fit other springs after you get them.

I think those spring rates are wrong, Yvo from Elise-shop has posted on the dutch Speedsterforum:
Street Series:
F R
Elise S1 275 350
Elise S2 K 275 350
Elise S2 T 375 500
VX 375 500

Different spring rates for NA and Turbo maybe?

It's what the guy at the Nitron stand told me at Autosport. He wasn't super interested to talk to anyone though, so he could have just been trying to get rid of me.

Just chipping in a bit of my feedback... We have fitted NSS to several cars and carried out a fair bit of dynoing and datalogging on these and many other makes/models of damper. I have to say i'm really impressed with the NSS and find the adjustments precise and repeatable. We have developed out own preferred road and track settings for the VX with our ARB kit and check these for customers on the dyno before we send them out (with dyno graphs). The internals really are good quality and i must say that they seem to be the best value for money at the moment. I particulary like the strong low shaft speed damping with relatively softer higher speed damping giving good support in braking/turn-in/exit but without harshness on uneven roads or taking kerbs! Hope this helps! cheers Simon
