Aragosta 10+1K/12K Type S Suspension Kit with Pillowball Upper Mounts for E90 & E92 BMW M3 [3AA.BM8.C1.000]

Aragosta 10+1K/12K Type S Suspension Kit with Pillowball Upper Mounts for E90 & E92 BMW M3 [3AA.BM8.C1.000]

The Aragosta Type S Coilover Suspension systems are meticulously engineered to deliver an optimal ride experience during spirited driving, whether on winding back roads or competitive circuit tracks. These coilovers are characterized by their balanced, linear handling and seamless traction capabilities. With a broad range of adjustability, they provide a genuine daily driver/weekend warrior suspension that excels in nearly any driving situation.

The Ultimate in Smooth Performance

• The Aragosta Type S Coilover Suspension system features an ultra-lightweight, high-pressure forged aluminum cylinder enhanced with next-generation film treatment and Kashima coating. The unique impregnation of molybdenum ensures exceptional lubricity within the cylinder itself. This results in substantial friction reduction and unmatched durability, surpassing conventional hard alumite coatings. As a result, the coilover system delivers exceptional basic performance, showcasing high-level linearity, smoothness, and outstanding traction ability.

High-Precision Machining with the Highest Priority on Performance

• Aragosta prioritizes the utmost accuracy in processing their cylinders, achieving surface roughness levels of 0.2 microns and 2/10000 mm for aluminum and steel cylinders. Additionally, they employ an advanced honing treatment to enhance the surface accuracy and roundness inside the cylinder, aligning precisely with the specified values. This level of precision in processing all their cylinders is a rarity among damper manufacturers.

Superior Finishing Technology

• The steel cylinder and outer case undergo a superior cationic electrodeposition coating, widely regarded as the best choice for rust prevention, impact resistance, and durability. This coating process ensures consistent and reliable electrodeposition, covering every corner of the thread for maximum coverage and an extended lifespan.

Equipped with High-Performance Spring as Standard

• As a standard feature, all Aragosta coilovers come equipped with Rana springs, exemplifying the concept of a series-wound spring. Alongside their exceptional quality and durability, these springs’ linear characteristics play a pivotal role in maximizing the overall damper performance.

Sharpened Internal Structure

• Aragosta’s exceptional performance is backed by damper pistons and needles with the capability to finely control damping characteristics even at extremely low speeds. This wide range of control allows the dampers to seamlessly transition from comfort-oriented settings to sportier ones, resulting in a significant improvement in traction performance. Furthermore, the external damping force adjustment mechanism offers a clear and precise characteristic change across its 20-step adjustment range, providing a smooth and direct click feel that corresponds perfectly to any desired setting.

High Hardness, High Efficiency WPC Processing

• The inverted cartridge cylinder undergoes precision shot peening (WPC processing), considered the finest technology for modifying metal surfaces. In cartridge cylinders with high sway resistance, this process effectively reduces the wear coefficient and significantly enhances oil film retention in the sway area. This manufacturing approach exemplifies a strong emphasis on performance, investing time and resources in parts that may not be immediately visible but play a crucial role in delivering exceptional results.
