Shock absorber spring set

Tune the suspension of your NSR car with the NSR1208 spring set

The behaviour of a slot car on track largely depends on how its suspension works. A spring that is too soft can cause excessive body roll in corners; one that is too hard reduces tyre contact with the track and penalises traction. The NSR1208 spring set is designed precisely for you to experiment, compare, and choose based on real data on the track.

Contents of the set

The set includes three springs of each hardness, totalling nine springs distributed across three response levels:

• Soft: greater absorption of irregularities, useful on technical tracks or less uniform surfaces.
• Medium: balance between stability and grip, recommended starting point for most setups.
• Hard: more direct and firm response, interesting on fast tracks where precision and less body movement are sought.

Function and performance

Having three units of each hardness is not a minor detail: it allows you to set up the same configuration on several cars at once or to keep spare springs without needing to place a new order. For those preparing cars for club competition, having the complete set in the drawer is a real practical advantage.

The adjustment of spring hardness directly influences the body height, weight distribution, and how the chassis reacts to changes in track inclination. Combined with other NSR tuning parts, this set is part of a progressive and controlled tuning process.

Compatibility and installation

These springs are designed for NSR suspensions. Before installation, check that the diameter and length fit with the suspension system of your specific model. NSR offers a well-documented spare parts catalogue, making it easy to identify the correct setup for each chassis.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers looking to optimise the setup of their NSR cars between sessions.
• Preparers working with multiple cars who need a stock of springs on hand.
• Enthusiasts taking their first steps in tuning and wanting to understand how spring hardness affects track behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

What hardness levels does the set come with and how many springs does it include in total?

The NSR1208 set includes 3 soft springs, 3 medium springs, and 3 hard springs, totalling 9 springs.

Why is it useful to have three units of each hardness?

It allows you to equip several cars with the same setup at once or have spares without needing to place an additional order, which is very practical in competitive contexts.

What hardness is recommended as a starting point?

The medium spring is usually the standard starting point, as it offers a stable balance between absorption and response. From there, adjustments can be made based on the track and driving preferences.

Are these springs compatible with all NSR cars?

They are designed for NSR suspensions, but we recommend checking compatibility with your specific model by consulting the manufacturer's documentation or contacting us.
