Nitron R3 / BMW / 3 Series (F3X)

In all Nitron systems you find exquisite machining and finishes, carefully detailed components and a COMPLETE system with nothing left to fetch or find.  Quality at every level inside and out down to the oil selection.  This results in reliability, strength and performance that are impossible to match at this price point and easy of use.

The Nitron R3 delivers ultimate performance through a unique design that offers drivers a wide range of adjustable damping control at the price point of most 2-ways systems or better!

The R3’s 3-way system has a single rebound only adjuster (no cross talk) and two compression adjustments (Low speed bypass and a high speed poppet control).  For R3 systems purchased through Inertia Lab directly a considerable amount of tuning setup and assistance is offered including initial setting suggestions and education on how the system works so that you are as equipped as possible to decide what to adjust and when to do so.  We try to take the sting out of multi adjustable setups allowing more people to take advantage of them by knowing they are always going to have help.  The Nitron R3 leaves nothing on the table, setting multiple records around the world.  This is the imminent suspension system for all out performance.

Designed to withstand the abuse of the track, all Nitron systems are also reliable for the street enthusiast who drives long miles on public roads.  Whether you daily drive or track your setup the full range of Nitron systems are up for the job in all environments.

The Performance Street spring setup is designed to provide a sporting, but comfortable ride.  Performance on the road is very high, but may require the dual purpose springs if you intend to track your vehicle regularly.

The Dual Purpose spring setup provides track support for the enthusiast who drives to the track or still uses the car on aggressive drives.  HPDE on 200TW tires are ideal here and modest or no aero cars.  This will help keep tires from edge wearing on track due to excessive roll without killing roadworthiness.  Ride will be more taught, but can still be reasonably smooth.

The Track spring setup is for those who use slicks, have a bit more aero and just bias more completely towards track performance.  Obviously you can drive anything on the road, but you will have a firm ride with the track setup.  With the damping control offered by Nitron, this is not always a bad ride which matters over curbing and on bumpy tracks.

You only want a dry-break where you MUST have it.  At $512 per axle pair you won't want to have them for no reason.  They are to avoid the need for drilling large (entire reservoir sized) holes in the chassis or to pass the line through an upright where no other solution will work.

Nitron dry-breaks are a unique design offering a screw together connection that does not require degassing the reservoir (like most disconnects) to take apart or assemble.  A dry-break displaces volume into the shock when assembled, so typical systems come apart easily, but unless degassed before disassembly will almost not go back together at all.  With the Nitron screw together design it allows this force to be easily overcome.  This means no dealing with Nitrogen tanks or needles and fill tools etc.

An R3 or eR3 can be ordered as a 2-way with one compression adjuster instead of the high/low speed adjuster pair on the standard R3.  There is little difference in componentry and so no cost difference, so you are merely losing an important adjustment for the same price.  Given the market value of the Nitron system this is still cost effective for people who have class limitations, but if you simply think “it’s too much”, “I’m not that good” or “it’s confusing” then let us help you set up and reap the value of the extra adjuster without losing it at no added cost.
