I have been saving my pennies for these over the last few months.
My first track day in the Exige went ok but the car suffered from understeer quite badly. So after some investigation and after taking advice, the next track day at Oulton i dropped the tyre pressures down to the cold readings and this worked a treat, 90% on the understeer disappeared. However there was still a lot of body roll and the standard bilstein suspension was a bit to soft for hard track work.
To add to this i had a few passenger laps in a S1 Exige that had a Nitron suspension and this had a profound effect on me, i didn't even know any car could grip like it let alone an everyday Exige well set up.
So i had to get a kit for mine, if this turns out to be half as good as the one i had a go of, then i will have a proper track weapon.
This Nitrons latest kit with a new wider 46mm body. I only went for one way adjustable as it is quite difficult setting up 2 and 3 way. These will be straightforward, just reach under while in the paddock and add a few clicks until they start to feel how you want them. They are the track day-pro version and as such will need refurbing every 10,000 miles or so. This sounds a lot but it is only if you want to keep them in tip top condition. All shocks/coilovers performance degrade as much, but in most applications people cant notice the drop off in performance.
