Aragosta 9+3K/8K Type S Suspension Kit with Pillowball Upper Mounts for E36 BMW M3

Aragosta Type S Coilover Suspension systems are meticulously designed to provide optimal driving experience during spirited rides, whether on serpentine country roads or competitive racing tracks. These coilovers are celebrated for their balanced, smooth handling and superior traction. They also offer extensive adjustability to meet the needs of a versatile vehicle, expertly handling daily commuting and weekend adventures.

A Higher Standard of Performance

The ultra-lightweight, high-pressure forged aluminum cylinder employs advanced film treatment and Kashima coating, with an infusion of molybdenum providing unparalleled cylinder lubricity. Compared to conventional hard alumite, this approach greatly reduces friction and enhances durability, optimizing core attributes such as linearity, smoothness, and traction.

Uncompromising Precision for Peak Performance

Aragosta insists on supreme precision in cylinder processing, achieving surface roughness of 0.2 micron and 2/10000 mm for both aluminum and steel cylinders. Unique honing treatments further refine the surface accuracy and roundness inside the cylinder. Such meticulous machining is rarely undertaken by damper manufacturers.

Unrivalled Finishing Techniques

The steel cylinder / outer case receives a cationic electrodeposition coating for supreme rust prevention, impact resistance, and durability. This approach ensures thorough electrodeposition even at the trickiest angles for an extended lifespan.

State-of-the-Art Standard Springs

All Aragosta’s come standard with high-quality rana springs, ideal for series-wound springs. Alongside high durability, their linear characteristics enhance damper performance.

Cutting-Edge Internal Structure

Underpinning Aragosta’s exceptional performance are damper pistons and needles that can finely adjust damping characteristics at ultra-low speeds. This functionality, spanning from comfort to sports settings, significantly boosts traction performance. Moreover, an external damping force adjustment mechanism offers a clear 20-step adjustment range with a smooth, direct click feel, adaptable to any setting.

Hardwearing, Efficient WPC Processing

The inverted cartridge cylinder leverages precision shot peening (WPC processing), a top-notch technology for metal surface modification. This technique has reduced the wear coefficient and improved oil film retention in the sway part of high-resistance cartridge cylinders, reflecting a commitment to optimal performance down to the hidden details.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

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 here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
