Does this Nitron F355 NTR-R1 coilover kit come with adjustable top mounts?

Yes. Adjustable top mounts and race springs come standard with every NTR-R1 kit for the F355.

Does raising the FAL affect how the car drives once it's lowered back down?

No. The FAL only lifts the front axle when activated and returns to the set ride height afterward, so the suspension tune stays the same once it's back down.

What kind of adjustment does the F355 NTR-R1 coilover kit offer?

The NTR-R1 uses a combined 2-way adjuster for compression and rebound at each corner, rather than independent high and low speed adjustment.

What kind of reservoir does this kit use?

The R1 uses an internal reservoir built into the damper body, so there's no external hose or piggyback canister to route around the rear end.

Can custom spring rates be ordered?

Yes. Every kit is custom built to order, and custom spring rates beyond the standard setup are available by contacting us directly for a consultation.

Description

Nitron NTR-R1 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for F129 Ferrari F355

An F355 sitting at its intended ride height has a front splitter and chin spoiler that scrape on nearly anything steeper than a flat driveway, and Nitron’s F355 NTR-R1 coilover kit with standalone FAL solves that without touching the manual damping adjustment that makes these dampers worth having in the first place. The NTR-R1 gives the F355 a 2-way combined compression and rebound adjuster at each corner, letting an owner dial in a single balanced setting rather than juggling separate high and low speed circuits. The internal reservoir design keeps everything self-contained in the damper body, no external hose or piggyback canister needed. The standalone FAL raises the front axle 25mm at the shock, enough to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without touching the suspension setup or changing how the car drives once it’s back down. Every Nitron kit includes adjustable top mounts and race springs, and it’s custom built and fully serviceable.

The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)

An F355’s low nose wasn’t designed with modern driveway aprons in mind, and most owners running one at factory ride height have learned an approach angle just to avoid a scrape. The standalone FAL built into this Nitron kit removes that guesswork, raising the front axle 25mm at the shock whenever it’s needed and dropping back to the set ride height once the car’s clear. Nothing about the damping setup changes when it’s engaged or when it’s not, it’s there for the obstacle and then it’s out of the way.
- 250W pump
- 25mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3-seconds
- Audible in-cabin warning system
- Switch with built-in warning light
- Auto off function
- Protects your car from damage caused by steep driveways and speed bumps
- Compatible with a wide range of suspension setups

Unique Technology

Every Nitron shock goes through machining, inspection, and validation long before it’s called finished, with each component checked individually by a trained Nitron technician rather than sampled from a batch. The modular design behind Nitron’s NTR platform means this F355 application was built around what the chassis actually needs, not adapted from a part number developed for a different car. New materials, finishes, and processes only reach production after Nitron has thoroughly proven them out, and Nitron’s own engineering carries through the whole build instead of being layered onto something generic.

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t take a damper built for a heavier, front-engine GT car and adjust the valving until it works on an F355. Nitron’s NTR-R1 application is developed specifically for this chassis unequal-length double wishbone geometry at all four corners, accounting for the weight of a longitudinally mounted V8 sitting ahead of the transaxle rather than assuming it behaves like a Testarossa or 512 TR. That’s the difference between a Nitron kit built for this platform and one that was only ever adjusted to fit it.

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.
