Small update:
Aragosta coilovers installed.
Completely failed to make pictures of the install, or the comparison between the old JIC coilovers and the new ones.
Specs of the Aragostas: Cusco camber tops, Rana race springs, Aragosta monotube adjustable dampers, height-adjustable bodies, and height-adjustable springs. Adjustment is on the bottom of the shock, for easy access!
Outcome: Aragostas are a little nicer in daily driving from the 50kms or so i've done on them. Need to play with the damper settings more as they're currently on full soft, and i forgot to preload the springs a little.
Am thinking of getting some 10mm hubcentric spacers to push the rims out from the suspension a little more, and give me a bit more peace of mind. And a bit more flush fitment!
Also tried testfitting the gunmetal Mazdaspeed MS-01S in 18x8 +40...but yeah, not enough clearance with that offset and without stretched rubber.
...and happening today:
- Install of super-gearbox
- Braided lines for gearbox (two needed, not one as i thought!)
- APP braided brake lines
- Polyeurethane lower control arm bushes - with offset caster
- Front polyeurethane swaybar bushes
- fit dual V6 Astina horns...and get them working.
