DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

Aragosta 8-16K/8-16K Type SS 2 Way Suspension Kit w/ Pillowball Upper Mounts for R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R

The Type SS coilover is the flagship Aragosta coilover. Engineered for track-focused applications, these coilovers offer a wide range of custom spring rate options.  The Type-SS features a 2-way remote reservoirs to mitigate damper oil heat soak, and features individually adjustable compression and rebound settings. The Type-SS includes low-friction, WPC-treated inverted struts, height-adjustable Rana springs, Kashima coated forged aluminum cylinders, specially formulated synthetic damper fluid, and Aragosta’s unique low friction seals.

Main Specifications

  • Premium Rana springs for incredibly consistent rates and unmatched durability.
  • Forged aluminum cylinders with Kashima coatings provide incredible strength and corrosion resistance.
  • High rigidity steel inverted struts with cation coating ensure long life and smooth operation.
  • Remote reservoirs with 2-way damper settings for fine tuning – 11 compression / 20 rebound characteristics.
  • Fully height adjustable.
  • Standard pillowball upper mounts.

Kit Contents

  • Coilovers (4x dampers + Rana Springs) 
  • Adjustment Wrenches 

The Ultimate in Smooth Performance

The ultra-lightweight, high-pressure forged aluminum cylinder uses next-generation film treatment and Kashima coating. The special treatment of impregnating molybdenum realizes amazing lubricity of the cylinder itself. It is equipped with significant friction reduction and durability that cannot be compared with conventional hard alumite, and enables basic performance such as linearity, smoothness, and traction ability at a high level.

High-Precision Machining with the Highest Priority on Performance

Aragosta are particular about the processing accuracy of the cylinder and are able to execute surface roughness of 0.2 micron and 2/10000 mm for both aluminum and steel cylinders. In addition, an advanced honing treatment is performed to increase the surface accuracy and roundness inside the cylinder to the specified values. It is extremely rare for a damper manufacturer to perform processing at this precision engine on all of their cylinders.

Superior Finishing Technology

The steel cylinder / outer case is coated with cationic electrodeposition coating, which is considered to be the best in terms of rust prevention, impact resistance, and durability. It reliably electrodeposits to every corner of the thread for maximum coverage and increased lifespan. 

Equipped with High-Performance Spring as Standard

All Aragostas are equipped as standard with Rana springs, which embodies the ideal of a series-wound spring. In addition to high quality and high durability, the linear characteristics contribute to maximizing the damper performance.

Sharpened Internal Structure

Supporting Aragosta’s outstanding performance are damper pistons and needles that can control fine damping characteristics from extremely low speeds; covering a range from comfort to sports, dramatically improves traction performance. In addition, the external damping force adjustment mechanism gives a clear characteristic change to the 20-step adjustment range with a smooth and direct click feel, and corresponds to any setting.

High Hardness, High Efficiency WPC Processing

The inverted cartridge cylinder uses precision shot peening (WPC processing), which is the best technology for modifying metal surfaces. In cartridge cylinders with high sway resistance, the wear coefficient has been reduced and the oil film retention in the sway part has been significantly improved. It is a manifestation of manufacturing that puts the highest priority on performance to spend time and money on parts that are not visible.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions.
