Finally!

It took some time but the engineer at Nitron just informed me they are done and have been tested with excellent results. We have been in touch working on this for the last 2-3 years, I am ecstatic these are ready.

Maintain your adaptive suspension with Nitrons elec-TRON coilover kit. CORSA style springs. ;)

Introducing our Nitron elec-TRON range to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

This post is about the ERS or elec-TRON RoadSport. Using our proportional solenoid valve we are able to calibrate the shocks allowing them to connect directly into the OEM drive select system.

Unmatched quality, unrivalled performance and a cost effective alternative to the OEM system.

Elec-TRON available now in RoadSport, R1 and R3.

Check now.

I am sure we can adapt these for Q4. Just give us some time. Took 2+ years to get these done. I met with Nitron awhile back to discuss this but the engineering had to be done in UK so I could not use my Qv for development on this one.


PS. Stock shocks are on backorder and now over $1100 each. ;)

Any chance for a future Stelvio Quad version? I know not much of a market but that would be sweet.
Yes for sure. I am working on that. We just need a donor car in the UK.
Holy crap $1100 each for stock shock? Almost make these a no brainer, which one would you recommend for someone that will mostly do sport driving and canyon but no track days for the QV? Also, assuming you still need to buy springs with the shocks?

I think this will be the go to kit for a complete replacement when that time comes for some. It's good we have them done. At some point these OEM shocks will be MIA and keep going up in cost.
I would go with the Roadsport. They use similar springs to our CORSA. Springs/Shocks come as a package. So that price online is for everything.

But this is not for everyone even, shocks should be available for a good amount of time in the future and our Performance/CORSA springs are a simple option and work so well with stock shocks.
The OEM shocks are not available at the moment but will be again soon. I have some in stock of course.

This is a good upgrade if you want to go this route.

KW springs end up being too soft based on feedback from owners on this site.

I have a 2024 Giulia Competzione with the Adaptive Suspension. Would this work for my car, or is the Quadrifoglio Adaptive Suspension different than my car.

Long post but I think I barely understood why this product is worth it. I read more comfortable everyday driving and that oem shocks are backordered and may not be available in future. Are these the main selling points? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to attack this product, my knowledge of coilovers is limited. Do stock shocks always fail eventually after certain mileage?

These start as a better then OEM option for only a little more money and offer ride height adjustment, then progressively get more more track focused as you go up the product stack for a bit of a price increase. That is probably the most simple way to explain it. Another benefit is these can be rebuilt so by the time you are ready for your 3rd set instead of buying another set of these you rebuild them for cheaper then replacement

I personally plan to get the street ones as my car never sees track use and the extra money spent would be wasted as I will never utilize them to what they are capable of.

I've been following the updates on the Nitron R3 Electron version and have a few questions:

Does the damping provided by the proportional solenoid valve rely on the original car's CDCM, or is it based on several preset values configured by Nitron? If the GTAM version's CDCM is used, will the damping change?

The R3 version retains the high-speed/low-speed compression adjustment knobs. How do they interact with the solenoid valve?

Compared to the mechanical version of the R3, will the Electron version perform worse on the track, or will it be comparable?

The CDCM controls the valve and there is no live configuration by Nitron. The damping of QV and GTAm is different so you will have a different behaviour with different SW.
So far they tested with QV spec, not GTAm. Nevertheless, I think GTAm SW will work pretty well.

There is video from nitron on Porsche and BMW explaining the interaction of solenoid valve and your adjustments. In principle you set the baseline from which the electric adjustment starts.

Just a little tour of the New USA Nitron Facility near us.

I talked with the owner for about an hour and discussed getting things done with the 2.0L and Stelvio. They are very very busy right now as SEMA is coming etc... But I think we can work on the 2.0L and stelvio here in CA developing.

My elec-TRON's are on order and I am very excited to have them installed, we will bring the car to Nitron to fine tune, we will have some footage of that later this coming year. Discussing install and adjustment.

I have changed some things with the ordering of these. If those who want R3, we can swap out springs so you can still run OEM top mounts for a more comfortable ride. But we beleive most will be fine with R1 and eRS.

Anyway, we plan to keep working with Nitron and help develop these cars and future cars. The new CA facility is top notch and developing here is not an issue.

More to come....

Even Nitron knows GENUINE AP ROTORS are the best. ;)
