The brake lines look stretched though, as if the suspension weight is now taken by them. Prop up the wishbones with some of that wood you have to save the lines.
Agree, I got wider and lowering Eliseparts brackets with my Nitron's I bought and they look exactly the same, so that is normal.
Also as mentioned somewhere about greasing, I fitted my 2nd hand Nitron's without grease, realised I should grease them, removed 3 out of 4 and greased them and get a warning on my MOT that 3 shocks had grease on them.
WTF is that about in the vein of the 'Pete please tell me what I'm doing and why thread' ?

Ho hum - back to Nitron I guess.

You can try opening and shutting the valve and see if the clicks come back. If you face north, whilst standing on your head, and rubbing your belly whilst patting your head, and turning the valve, its got a higher chance of working

Apply with small amount on end of finger, not with shovel. :thumbsup ;-)

Interestingly the grease Nitron supply is pink. Not sure if it's something other than standard LM?
