What can I adjust on the Nitron Evo VI NTR-R3 Coilover Kit?

Each damper has four separate controls, high speed compression, low speed compression, high speed rebound, and low speed rebound. They work independently, so you can change one without altering the other three.

Which settings affect body roll and which affect bumps?

The low speed settings govern body movement such as dive, roll, and squat. The high speed settings govern how the damper reacts to sharp bumps, curbs, and rough surfaces.

Does every damper on the Evo VI NTR-R3 use a hose?

Yes. The kit has hose-connected reservoirs at the front and the rear, so all four dampers have a remote reservoir that you mount away from the damper body.

What do the Bi-Axis fittings do?

They rotate 720 degrees on two axes, so each hose can be turned toward its reservoir and secured with no kinks or strain on the fitting.

Does Nitron's Evo VI NTR-R3 kit keep the factory rear suspension type?

Yes. It is made for the OEM rear suspension type, so the rear stays as designed and the Nitron spring and damper replace the factory ones.

Are top plates included with this Evo VI NTR-R3 Coilover Kit, and is an alignment needed?

Adjustable top plates come with the kit, and a professional alignment is required after installation. The R3 has more to adjust than a single-control kit, so a proper setup session is worth the time.

Description

Nitron NTR-R3 Coilover Kit for CP9A Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI

A four-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Evo VI asks a lot of its dampers, and Nitron’s Evo VI NTR-R3 Coilover Kit gives each corner four separate adjustments so you can answer it properly. High speed and low speed compression and rebound are all set independently, which means the way the body moves and the way the car takes a rough surface stop being one compromise. Every damper has its reservoir on a hose, the rear keeps the OEM suspension type, and adjustable spring perches and race springs complete the setup. If you have outgrown what a single adjuster can do, the Evo VI NTR-R3 is the kit to move up to.

Specialized Bi-Axis Hose Fittings

With a hose at every corner, the way each line leaves its damper has a lot to do with how tidy and secure the install ends up. The fittings on these dampers turn 720 degrees on two axes, which is what Nitron calls Bi-Axis, so every hose can be pointed at its reservoir before it is tightened. Front or rear, that gives each line a short, direct run without kinks or strain on the connector, and it makes it easier to find a sensible place for the reservoirs in a car with limited room around the suspension.

Unique Technology

The easiest way to think about the R3 is as two dampers in one body. The low speed circuits handle what the whole car does, such as pitching forward under the brakes, leaning on turn-in, and sitting down on the rear when the boost builds. The high speed circuits handle what each wheel does, such as hitting a curb, dropping into a rut, or crossing a seam at the apex. A harsh ride over broken pavement can be eased on the high speed side without softening the body control you set on the low speed side, and the reverse also holds. Each damper is a passive, nitrogen-pressurized monotube with a remote reservoir, assembled by hand in the UK to order.
- 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

Nitron builds each Evo VI NTR-R3 to order for the CP9A, specifying damper lengths, hose lengths, and perch positions for the car and not adapting a universal part. The rear keeps the OEM suspension type, which puts the rear dampers back where the factory ones came out and leaves the car’s rear geometry as it was designed. Race springs are supplied with the kit, and the adjustable perches let you set ride height and corner balance without changing components. The aim is a kit that bolts into the car as if it were made for it, so your time goes into tuning and not fitting.

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.
