Default Topline aragosta coilovers

http://www.splparts.com/Parts/Z33/Su...rs/default.asp


When I used to own my s13. I know these coilovers were starting to get a lot of attention. I've tried searching but found nothing for the Z. Anyone heard of these or experienced them the the Z?

A couple things that caught my eyes were the quality? From the pictures it looks really good. 2nd, they mentioned the, "coilover set weigh 45lb, including all springs." Does anyone know what the NISMO setup comes in at, approximately?

thanks

I corresponded with a guy in Korea on another Z site who has an Aragosta setup on his Z33 .... since he is the only person I have seen with this suspension.

He likes them - but he was unable to give me a comparison to other suspensions.

aragostas are what they use on top secret cars. top secret i think re-valves them to their specs or somehting.

I know that the Stance coilovers weight around 75 lbs ... light weight is not necessarily better when I have seen alum components fail, but knowing Aragosta it will most likely withstand the abuse.

aragosta is great.
only main issue is..
Servicing in the USa.. Especially when it is such a high price coilover.. i would not want to be out of coils for 1+ months waiting for rebuilds or anything...

Thats one of my concerns, rebuild time and warranty. I'm actually thinking if Performance Nissan does my install. Is my warranty still voided? Anyone know around how much these coilovers go for?

who says you have to wait months to get them serviced. Aragosta is a brand name in Japan...they don't actually make anything. The units are simply rebranded coilovers of another make (very famous brand in Europe), which soon will be fully stocked and serviced in the US

Nice, do you know how long till they'll be stocked in the US and would you be able to get some pretty soon.

Could you PM me with a price. I'm in the market and i'm pretty set on these now.
