Lamborghini Countach Gains Modern Handling With Aragosta Upgrades
For owners of the Lamborghini Countach who demand more than showroom stance and aging OEM compliance, Aragosta’s Type S Suspension Kit w/ Pillowball Upper Mounts delivers balanced performance and high-level adjustability. It’s designed for those who push their Countach through canyon switchbacks or track day apexes, without sacrificing road compliance.
The foundation is built around forged aluminum cylinders treated with a next-generation Kashima coating. Unlike conventional hard anodizing, this molybdenum-infused treatment reduces friction dramatically while boosting durability. The precision machining doesn’t stop there; Aragosta’s internal components are honed to tolerances as tight as 0.2 microns, well beyond industry norms, giving you ultra-linear damping and razor-sharp feedback.
The kit includes four dampers and matching Rana springs, renowned for their linear response and consistent rate. These aren’t generic coilovers with a supercar label; they’re hand-built for the Countach, with an emphasis on high-G traction, chassis balance, and maximum adjustability. The 20-step damper setting range ensures you can dial in comfort or stiffness without losing composure. Whether the road is smooth or savage, the car stays planted.
Pillowball upper mounts come standard, offering more precise camber control and feedback, which is critical on a car like the Lamborghini Countach that already sits low and responds aggressively to geometry changes. Combined with a cation-coated steel outer case and WPC-treated inverted cartridge cylinder, this setup is engineered to perform lap after lap and still hold up to years of road use.
For those looking to add practical clearance without compromising any performance, Aragosta’s 10K/8+3K Type S Suspension Kit with 2 Cup Lift & Pillowball Upper Mounts adds a clever solution: a compact hydraulic lift system for the front axle.
Thanks to the Roberta lifter system, the front end can be raised between 40mm and 70mm in just two seconds using a simple switch inside the cabin. No more worrying about scraping on speed bumps or awkward entrances; the lift is fast, reliable, and invisible when not in use.
The lift kit is fully integrated with the Type S coilover design, so there’s no compromise in everyday performance. Once the lift is disengaged, the Countach returns to its normal height, and all the original ride and damping characteristics are restored. This system adds real-world usability to a car that was built for the track and designed for the spotlight.
It’s important to note: the lift is not meant for driving while raised. It’s a quick-utility solution for clearance during approach and departure, not a ride height option for daily use. But when installed correctly, it makes the Countach genuinely easier to live with, without ever dulling the sharpness of Aragosta’s core suspension setup.
Both versions of the Aragosta system for the Lamborghini Countach use high-rigidity steel struts with cationic electrodeposition coating. That means better rust resistance, a longer lifespan, and consistent performance even in harsh conditions. Internally, the adjustable pistons and valves cover an incredibly wide range of damping speeds, from comfortable street cruising to aggressive, high-load transitions on the racetrack.
These aren’t kits slapped together from off-the-shelf parts. Aragosta’s attention to detail even extends to the components you don’t see, like WPC-treated internal surfaces to reduce wear and maintain oil film adhesion where other dampers fail. Everything has a purpose, and that purpose is performance.
The inclusion of Rana springs further sets this system apart. These series-wound springs are engineered for perfect linearity under compression, which helps the damper do its job without interference. No harsh progression. No unpredictable rebound. Just a stable platform to build your setup around. Whether you’re tracking your Lamborghini Countach, carving up back roads, or simply trying to bring modern composure to a vintage icon, Aragosta’s Type S kits give you the foundation to do it right.
These Aragosta suspension kits are designed to fit all models of the Lamborghini Countach, including the LP400, LP400 S, LP500 S, 5000 QV, and the 25th Anniversary edition. No matter which variant you own, the mounting points and suspension geometry are compatible across the entire Countach production range from 1974 to 1990. That means whether your car is an early narrow-body classic or a later wide-body evolution, Aragosta’s coilovers are engineered to bolt up seamlessly and deliver modern performance to this iconic platform.
Bulletproof Automotive is proud to offer both of these Lamborghini Countach-specific Aragosta suspension kits, available to order directly from their online catalog:
Whether you’re chasing sharper feedback, lower lap times, or just better real-world usability, both systems offer unmatched build quality and track-proven engineering. Choose the setup that fits your needs, or go all in with the lift-equipped version and add confidence to your next approach.
