It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

You will be very happy with the OSG. Good choice

I hope so.

I forgot to mention since it was a warm day I was able to put it in an accelerating curve. The car was stuck like glue and better than stock with the foot to the floor.

F@cking BALLERS!

Corner balancing scheduled for Wednesday the 26th.

$4000/more = might as well go all out and get something with a cup kit and triple adjustable

Would love to hear from someone who's had all three fortune/powertrix/arrogosta to get a real complete feedback. The powertrix have been good but always curious what's out there.

Maybe get a swap deal going and see what we all think?

I want to know what a set of Motons or Penske's feel like.

Hate to break it to you but that's not custom. That's how they come regardless. I have the same side adjustment knob and there's no cutting involved. Bulletproof just tacks on a grand for taking your phone call. If they told you that to justify the price, they deserve a hard kick to the sack. I'm actually out in La La land currently but leaving for Asia tomorrow morning otherwise I'd swing by there and do it personally for you. :nut swinger:

Here's a pic of my rear shock.

I've only compared the Aragostas to the Tein Flex Z's but the other car also had Hotchkins bars so not a fair or accurate comparison.

Hmm, good thing I bought them slightly used and didn't have to pay that much for them.

Good to hear. I might have had you confused with another forum member who ordered a set through Bulletproof and paid top $$$ for them.

Corner balancing has been completed. I was off 1/4in. on one corner with ride height. Man does my car feel so much better. The corner weights were off. Whoever said you don't need to corner balance your car after coilovers is crazy. He was hooking the rear sway bar endlink up and it could change the cross weights by a whole percent. That was a holey crap how sensitive the suspension is moment. It took a few minutes to just hook the adjustable endlinks up perfectly without changing it. Crazy.

So...................HOW'S THE RIDE?

Spooler · 04-26-2017, 11:45 PM

It is firm but not bone jarring like the stock Nismo suspension. I am enjoying the crap out of it. The car is so much better after the corner balancing. I could tell the difference immediately on the way home. I am very pleased.

Since you are staying in Fontana village are you going to meet up at 6:30am at the store for the morning drive and breakfast at the deal's gap store? Don't make me hook a tow strap to your legs to snatch you out of bed in the morning.
