Aragosta Type SS 3-Way Coilovers for CT9A Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII

Aragosta Type SS 3-Way Coilovers for CT9A Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII

At the forefront of Aragosta’s lineup, the Type SS coilover is tailor-made for track applications. This model boasts an extensive range of customizable spring rates, dual-way remote reservoirs to counteract damper oil heat absorption, and independent adjustments for compression and rebound. The Type-SS comes equipped with WPC-treated, low-friction inverted struts, adjustable Rana springs for height, Kashima coated forged aluminum cylinders, sophisticated synthetic damper fluid, and Aragosta’s exclusive low friction seals.

Unparalleled Smoothness and Performance

• The ultra-light, high-pressure forged aluminum cylinder gains advantages from an advanced film treatment and Kashima coating. A unique molybdenum impregnation enhances the cylinder’s lubrication, significantly reducing friction and boosting durability beyond that of standard hard alumite. This results in unmatched performance in smoothness, linearity, and traction capabilities.

Meticulous Machining for Peak Performance

• Aragosta is committed to the highest standards in cylinder machining, achieving a remarkable surface roughness of just 0.2 microns and 2/10000 mm on both aluminum and steel cylinders. The cylinders also undergo a sophisticated honing process, increasing the precision of their surface accuracy and roundness. This level of detail in processing is uncommon among damper producers.

State-of-the-Art Coating for Enhanced Longevity

• The steel cylinder and outer casing benefit from a cationic electrodeposition coating, acclaimed for its exceptional rust resistance, impact resilience, and long-term durability. This coating ensures comprehensive coverage, thus prolonging the life of the product.

High-Quality Standard Rana Springs

• Standard on all Aragosta coilovers, Rana springs represent the epitome of series-wound springs. Known for their high quality and durability, these springs also have linear characteristics that maximize damper efficiency.

Sophisticated Internal Design for Superior Performance

• The remarkable performance of Aragosta coilovers is supported by damper pistons and needles capable of finely adjusting damping from very low speeds, covering a range from comfortable to sporty driving. This significantly improves traction performance. The external damping force adjustment offers a clear 20-step range with a precise and direct click response, adaptable for any preference.

Enhanced Durability and Efficiency with WPC Processing

• The inverted cartridge cylinder is treated with precision shot peening (WPC processing), a leading technology in metal surface modification. This technique minimizes wear and enhances oil film retention in the sway part. It represents Aragosta’s dedication to performance-oriented manufacturing, focusing on even the unseen parts.
