Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S

Installed them today, still have to get the height adjustments close to what I want and then I will corner balance on a friend's scales and then set toe.

Side by side comparison of the stock Bilsteins and the Nitrons. I can't get over how much beefier the Nitrons look compared to stock:


I was going to buy four scales so I could corner weight this thing, but then I found out it costs $1k for the setup. Anybody know of a simple/cheap setup that is accurate? I can laser level, do math, and all that jazz myself, I don't need a fancy computer program that costs a fortune to tell me some percentages via wireless connection.

Thanks to Brandon Ranvek for re-assuring me about spring rates!

Update: Got the ride heights all set, now I just need to corner balance. The car is 20mm lower all around than it was before, looks really good.
