Those will run you over double in price. There's only one guy (on other forum) that has those that I know of. The buddy club's have the adjustment for the front underneath and for the rear above for easy access. I beleive HKS has both underneath and JIC both above which dents the hood without the bubmp stop spacer. If you really like drag and/or drifting HKS has drag shocks. They also have a softer luxary series you can see them on rotaryextreme's website. If you would rather spend under $1k i'd get bilstein's and HKS white springs but that would be more luxury then race, which I would prefer. I sugest you ride in a car with race coil overs and see how freekin stiff it is. I only have 10/8's and girls don't like it. I can't imagine 12/10 or 14/12's. You would need a kidney belt!

Knightsports are Aragostas with valving per their specs for the FD. Can get them double adjustable (separate compression/rebound) for 355,000 Yen or so. 50mm valve, aluminum body, seperate height and spring perch adjustment. The Aragostas consistently get the highest ratings in RX7 Magazine and are LOVED by the track enthusiasts in Japan. There is now an Aragosta distributor in N. America which will help if rebuild is needed. They're on the level of Ohlins, just below a custom-built Penske.

Don't forget Endless/Zeal, they make some incredible coilovers also. I drove their FD over here and it's extremely comfortable. I did like it's response and ride quality better than the JIC's. This to me was very surprising.

Arogasta is dope. Mike, you happen to know who the distributor is??

I'll find them for you Rishie...can't remember off the top of my head. I know they're looking for distributors in the US at the moment too. I believe the "big" distributor is based out of Canada.



http://www.aragosta-suspension.com/



That's their main website. I know I have the N.America site somewhere...I'll find it.

Yeah Aragostas are pretty cool. They are VERY VERY VERY popular on Silvias, but NOT really big on the FD, but I see a fair share of them on the FD, and yes they get mad good reviews.



Ohlins name dropped down on respect for some reason lately over here. So I dont know where they stand.
