Any comments?

 

Probably not much help but I do know that the Topline Aragosta are $$. Haven't heard many people running them but that's probably more due to the fact of their cost and the fact that Topline doesn't have much a "presence" in North America. Not doubting the quality of the Aragostas but imo at that price range, you have lots of choices (ie.. Zeal b6's, Tein RA etc..). Many of which have plenty of happy owners who can help you out.

 

Anyone other comments?

 

 

I have customers with it. Ride is decent but its kind of soft if you track or Auto-X with them. Shock body and pillowball uppermount are manufactured by TEIN but the rest of the components are imported from Europe (Holland).

 

TEIN RA

You mean Aragosta is not very good? You mentioned that its kind of soft, will that due to the spring rate? Which coilover systems that you will recommend? Also, the price for Aragosta suspension will cost as much as Tein or Buddy Club? Thanks!

Yes - soft = soft spring rate

Why don't you just go down to A&J and check things out there - since you live in BC.

It's on Bridgeport

 

awsome set of coilovers, little pricey

 

 

 

 

Im using them on my DA (fronts only), with 12 K springs. I had them rebuilt as I was weekend racing on them for 2 years, the upper ball mounts are very strong. Also, their head office sent me the adjustment tool free after I emailed them saying I had lost the original one. I recommend getting some rod seal covers, because if you use them mostly for street, water can get in there and seize the adjustment valve (like any other coilover). If your looking specifically for Honda application, Honda Twin Cam has specified valving for race settings.
