Just been speaking to Randy. The piston rod is longer on the rear Nitrons for the S2 compared to the S1.

Clark, I have a set of Ledas that were on N1, if S1 fronts are the same as S2, then fitting two of those would see you through.

Have a look at them tomorrow.

Bugger!!! might just have to hope they hold out till i can get decent ones!

i onnly need 1 front n/s aswell, how annoying!

in the words of james may... oh c**k !! :(
Longer term you could swag Craig Nicols old S2 Exige stuff if he's getting Nitrons/Ohlins etc. Eliseparts are doing a kit to allow fittment of 111R/Exige dampers to Rover S2's.

Reckon s2 Exige dampers on an early S2 would be vv good...
