Nitron Roadsport Coilovers
Have been running these for a while now, and despite the odd reference there really isn’t much written about them online so thought I’d post my impressions.
TLDR: Transformative, composed, comfortable and confidence-inspiring. Wish I’d done it years ago etc.

Car is an F80 Comp / DCT - car is a daily, kids in back, fun at the weekend, not (currently) used on track.
The original EDC dampers were very tired and I’d probably not helped them running eibach lowering springs for quite a few years. As I result I suspect any coilover/damper replacement was going to feel good - however…
The transformation is night and day. No more “crashiness” at low speed, or floaty instability in high speed corners. Composure on B roads is confidence inspiring, significantly faster as a result (not sure if that’s always a good thing..)
Running 12/12 (half way) as a baseline, ride height same as previous lowering springs - not slammed. Ride is slightly firmer than stock, but they’re significantly more comfortable than “comfort”. No clunks, no additional NVH.
Recommend, don’t miss EDC functionality at all.
