I just found that there is a french retailer for MCS. I sent an email to ask about options and prices.

Heh, you're looking at all the options. Are there no local shops that specialize in supporting this kind of thing?

We have shops to mount the suspensions and set the geo. Nothing else.

Car modification is mostly illegal out there. Even if suspension modification is legal. It makes it harder for a shop to be profitable.

Our cheese is the best in the world, nothing come close.

In fact, that's the only thing I like in that country.

So, I have still no answers from AST, MCS french retailer and Ohlins Sweden.

But I have good news from Nitron. They gonna use my car for development. I will bring it to the UK for testing.

This way I got full suspension manufacturer support :p

Are they planning on releasing a new kit for our cars?

I don't really know what they plan. I'll let you know when I get more informations.

At the end my car will get the 3 way setup, but they may test other options.

It's for sale, but it looks like people generally do not have enough money.

Please do I've decided to keep saving and focus into some other parts/upgrades instead of jumping into the Öhlins right now, so i'm considering Nitrons again.

I thought they had the 2 kits sorted out, but it's interesting to see they keep working on it.

A track abused, RHD, modified Lotus without even a price ? Yeah, I too would avoid it like the plague.
