Nitron - NTR R1 Coilover Systems; E9x & E8x (M3 & 1M)

NTR R1 equals Race Technology at an unbelievable price.

Most people are aware that suspension is essential for high performance cars, and many have a vague idea of how most of it works but very few understand the finer details and understand how to get the best out of their car through correct setup. Unless you’re a racing driver with many hours experience, suspension can seem like a bit of a dark art. The video game "Gran Tourismo" may have introduced a whole new generation to toe angle, camber / castor, and damping adjustments- but fiddling with these complex settings in the real world is a little different.

After several years of working to improve the handling of many race cars and bikes, designing and producing every conceivable suspension component, and building a knowledge of winning solutions, Nitron Racing Systems was officially established in 1998 with the primary objective of producing the very finest racing shocks.
Since then, Nitron’s worldwide success has spanned over a decade of prestigious race wins and lap records on both two and four wheels using the revered NTR series of shock absorbers. Today, with direct motorsport involvement and a committed development program, every Nitron customer experiences cutting edge performance and design, proven on the world’s most demanding circuit and the latest evolution of technology in the NTR line.

Nitron Racing Systems is newer to the US BMW market, but continues its commitment to quality and support that have made them a dominating force in Europe for all makes and models. Nitron already with operations in the USA has become the #1 choice for Lotus owners in the USA and has set there sights on becoming the most winning in the highly competitive BMW market. Don't just take that on paper: Highlights for the BMW enthusiast include sweeping wins in the 'CSL Cup' where it's BMW vs. BMW. Nitron also has the unique distinction of being the fastest on the 'Ring, where Nitron's R3 set the Nurburgring worlds fastest N/A engine E9x M3!

NTR R1 Complete Coilover Package:
We like different cars. We modify our cars to be individual. We each have our own driving style – so why then, do we settle for a ‘one shock suits all’ product? Unlike the OE shocks or many after market dampers, every single Nitron damper is hand built for the individual customer.
This means Nitron can build the kit to suit your individual application and style, affording the ability to custom spring and valve the shocks at the factory, or you can select from a pre-optimized unit on the shelf for your needs.

Every time a manufacturer produces a new vehicle, whether it’s a sports car or a superbike – the designer’s aspirations for its handling are often restricted by the prohibitive pressures to continually drive down costs. Then, throw in the fact that every vehicle has to be produced to fit the widest possible range of uses, weights, tires and ‘safe’driving styles; it becomes clear why OE suspension isn’t perhaps as perfect as it could be (not mentioning that lawyers are often interested in diluting matters, too)! This is the same story for the E9x/E8x chassis, so phenomenal in geometry but one that can be tremendously improved with dampers that allow for optimum performance.

Embraced by racers and race series around the world, R1 kits provide the answer to uncompromising quality, reliability and performance without the need for a remote canister.
We are all different, and our cars are similarly different down to the smallest changes; you are going to need the ability to make precise adjustments to have the edge.
Nitron R1 damper kits are ‘two-way’ adjustable, allowing adjustment of both the bump and rebound strokes through a single adjuster knob. This can become confusing as many manufacturers state ‘one-way’ adjustment as only adjusting the bump stroke, or more often the rebound. The Nitron R1 series actually has a complex valving system that adjusts both bump/rebound on the same adjustment knob – in this implementation, a far superior solution than simply compression or rebound, the chassis is supported and is capable of control over the most grueling circuit or for normal daily road use. Easy and repeatable.

That leads up to the type of adjustment and the range of the Nitron damper: Beware of just how much adjustment some after market damper kits offer – many kits in this price range state anything up to 40 clicks of adjustment! However they are usually not linear and often only have 5-10 clicks that actually make difference to the damping curve. Nitron shocks arrive (preset, may we add) with around 26 totally linear clicks. For most customers this means a simple initial setup process to find their individual ‘sweet spot’ and a ‘less 2 clicks’ for a wet set setup.

Nitron's aim is supplying the best possible shocks made to the highest specifications. Nitron now sells shocks all over the world and continues to strive to supply the highest quality along with making product lines that offer high value next to the competition.
Always focusing on delivering serious performance and not compromising on design and build quality, both internally and externally- Nitron is the the solution the typical hard to impress BMW enthusiast has been looking for!
