I have a full set of Exige shocks for sale - rides a bit hard for you though

I asked about "adjuster" settings because, in essence, there is only one setting that will correctly match the damper and spring in my experience. My Spax had to be turned up pretty hard to stop the car bouncing on the spring.

Not surprised if your experience is purely Spax FWIW, my old school originally valved Nitrons have a very wide window of damping with standard springing (and from others experience, can even go heavier on the springs with no need to change valving). The Ledas I had on it beforehand definitely didn't! I think that's due to actual R&D on the car, not just picking damper lengths and spring rates from a graph that should work.

I replaced the original Konis on my S1 over the winter with Nitron Street Series, along with new steering rack and all front bushes and balljoints. I've just had the a full geo setup done by Clark Motorsport and the car is absolutely transformed. I can't believe the difference in ride quality over the old Konis and am sure I don't remember it being this good when new.
I was swithering between the Nitrons and Bilsteins, but the Nitrons are fully rebuildable which swung it for me. Their quality is amazing, it seems a shame to hide them away under the car.

Allan, what settings are you running front and back? I'm finding the rear is being thrown out (drifting) at setting 18/20 and heights 115/110 when going around fast corners. Ride quality is much improve though

[wilsona13]

Mine are set as they came out of the box which is 20 clicks from hard front and rear. Ride height is 130mm f/r. I've only done about 10 miles on them so far, so I might have to tweak them a bit, but first impressions seem pretty good.

OK guys, valuable feedback, all that.
