Is the Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad good for daily driving?

Yes. The Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad uses road-biased spring rates and low-friction NTR-R1 dampers that soak up potholes, speed bumps and broken pavement instead of passing them into the cabin. The S2 Elise S stays comfortable on the commute, then flat and precise when the road opens up.

Are mounting brackets included with the Nitron S2 Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad?

Yes. Mounting brackets are included with every Nitron S2 Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad kit and are supplied to suit your car’s drive side. Select LHD or RHD when ordering, and the kit arrives with the correct brackets to fit the factory double wishbone suspension without sourcing extra hardware.

How is the damping adjusted on the Nitron NTR-R1?

Each Nitron NTR-R1 damper has one adjuster that changes bump and rebound together along a curve Nitron sets for the car. Turning it firmer stiffens both directions, and turning it softer relaxes both. On an Elise S, that makes it easy to run a softer setting for daily use and firm it up for a back road or track day.

Can the Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad handle track days?

Yes, for occasional track use. The Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad is set up for the road, but its damping resists fade and shares internals with Nitron’s NTR-R3 race damper. Firm up the adjusters and the Elise S is ready for a track day. Owners who mostly drive on track can ask for firmer spring rates when ordering.

Can the Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad be rebuilt later?

Yes. Every Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad damper is fully serviceable, so it can be rebuilt, revalved or fitted with different springs. For an Elise S that covers everyday miles, that means the suspension can be refreshed as it wears instead of being replaced.

Description

Nitron NTR-R1 FastRoad Coilover Kit for S2 Lotus Elise S

Plenty of S2 Elise S owners use their car as an actual car. It goes to work, runs errands across town and gets driven on the weekend just because the roads are there. That kind of everyday use is hard on suspension that wasn’t set up for it. Potholes, speed bumps, broken pavement and patched city streets all go straight through to the cabin of a lightweight sports car. The Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad coilover kit is built to take the sting out of daily driving without dulling the car. Nitron sets the FastRoad up with road-biased spring rates, and the low-friction NTR-R1 dampers soak up the sharp, low-speed hits that make an Elise tiring around town. When the road opens up, the same dampers keep the body flat and the steering precise. One adjuster per corner sets bump and rebound together, so you can soften the car for the commute and firm it up for a back road or track day with a few clicks. Mounting brackets for your car’s drive side are included, so the Nitron S2 Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad bolts straight into the factory double wishbone suspension.

Unique Technology

Nitron developed the NTR-R1 in its race program, and much of its internal hardware is shared with the NTR-R3 that Nitron runs in international motorsport. The NTR-R1 has no remote canister, so each damper stays compact and the install is simple. Its internals have very little friction, so the damper reacts the moment a wheel moves instead of waiting for a bigger hit to get it going. Around town, that’s what turns a sharp jolt over a pothole or expansion joint into a muted thump. On a fast road, the same quick response keeps the tires loaded and the car settled. The Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 also resists fade, so its damping stays consistent from a hot afternoon in traffic through a full track session.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Each Nitron Elise S NTR-R1 FastRoad kit is hand-built after the order is placed, with springs and valving matched to the S2 Elise S and to a road-first brief. That suits owners who drive their Elise every day, cover real miles on less-than-perfect roads and still enjoy the occasional track day, without wanting a stiffly sprung track setup. Hard-anodized and titanium-finish components keep weight down on a car built around low mass, and they resist corrosion from wet roads, winter grime and road salt. A car that gets used this much needs suspension that can be maintained. Every Nitron NTR-R1 damper can be fully serviced and revalved, and the springs can be changed, so the kit can be refreshed for years and adjusted if the car’s use changes.

About Nitron Suspension

Nitron Suspension has been at the forefront of precision suspension engineering since 1998, founded by Guy Evans with the goal of building high-performance shocks for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Over 200 dealers now carry Nitron products across Europe, Asia, the US, Australasia, and Africa. In 2008, the company moved into a dedicated facility in the UK’s Motorsport Valley, adding dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines, and 3D CAD capabilities to support both growing demand and continued product development. A second expansion came in 2023 with a new office in Murrieta, California. The team behind every Nitron product draws from deep backgrounds in machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering, and F1 racing, with many engineers bringing firsthand experience as competitive drivers and riders. That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
