Description

Requires the DSC Sport box to work.

The elec-TRON R3 coilover kit combines Nitron’s advanced proportional solenoid valve technology with fully independent manual compression adjustment. Designed for serious enthusiasts and professional drivers, it delivers exceptional suspension performance for extreme driving conditions and high-performance applications.

With 16 clicks of high-speed and 26 clicks of low-speed compression adjustment, the R3 allows you to precisely set a mechanical baseline before the semi-active system takes over for real-time optimisation.

Key Features

  • Nitron proportional solenoid valve with electronic damping control
  • Independent manual high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment
  • Piggyback or remote reservoir options for fast, accessible tuning
  • Adjustable top mounts and race-spec springs
  • Wide adjustment range: 300–1800 mA
  • Ultra-fast response time: 6–8 milliseconds

elec-TRON Technology Overview

The Nitron elec-TRON system integrates proven suspension engineering with precision electronic valve control to deliver outstanding handling, stability, and ride comfort.

At its core is Nitron’s proprietary proportional solenoid valve, mounted directly on the piston rod. This positioning allows highly accurate control of oil flow through the shim stack, fine-tuning damping characteristics with exceptional precision. Combined with Nitron’s gas-pressurised monotube design, the result is consistent, fade-resistant performance even under the most demanding conditions.

Each damper can independently adjust compression and rebound damping in real time, responding instantly to inputs such as:

  • G-force and cornering loads
  • Vehicle speed
  • Road surface conditions
  • Driver inputs

This continuous adjustment ensures maximum grip, improved stability, and a highly confidence-inspiring driving experience.

R1 vs R3 Configuration

  • R1: Fully electronic damping control with no manual adjustment
  • R3: Adds manual high- and low-speed compression controls, allowing users to define a base setup before the system dynamically refines performance

Engineered for Performance Without Compromise

The elec-TRON R3 is designed to elevate the character of your car, delivering sharper handling and greater driver confidence without sacrificing comfort or everyday usability.
