Man I've missed out on like a month of posts. Anyway...a few things after catching up. The Aragostas do come with instructions/build sheet but not shock dyno curves. Spooler bought his used.

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

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.

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...

Realize the Aragostas can be had for far less than $3K and what Bulletproof sells them for. I paid about $2300 to my door (shipping, import tax, everything) for the Type S with rubber uppers. Solid...

I just adjusted my dampers and went up six clicks rear (total 14 I believe) and three up front to 18. I'd never run the rears that high and it was definitely firmer but it didn't seem to be blowing...

I think I'm at 15 clicks front but only 8 rear. I find the rear has a much "firmer" feel to it than the front. I have some truly sh*tty roads here and I can't run the rear dampers much firmer and...

Very true. The Aragostas are one of the few that'll allow for ABOVE OEM height if you so desire. Everything else drops you an inch or more below stock height. I can't run any lower (less than an...

That's awesome, glad you got everything in and working! My front dampers took about a month to "loosen up" a bit, the rears took substantially longer, like six months of daily driving. Right out of...

I am not planning on the SPL mid links. If I make any changes in the future, I'll send the rears to AST for a true-type conversion and move the spring onto the shock. It seems to be too much...

I'm seriously going to test drive a Nismo to see how bad the ride is! I've heard the IPL dampers are not nearly as firm as the Nismos. I always assumed, given everything else is the same, that both...

All the other instructions are in Japanese and aren't actually specific to the G/Z.

Ah sorry to hear that...If you lived a whole lot closer I'd come over and help!

Bumping this thread...I keep on going over the rear damper "preload" in my head due to the springs being separate from the damper body. The Aragostas have a blueprint included with the toolkit and...

Yeah mine definitely settled as well. I "think" it was almost a half inch in back but I found I hadn't rotated the bottom spring isolator all the way around so that may have caused my issue. On the...

Curious why you're changing over to Swift springs on the Aragostas? Are you going with a different rate?
