My new suspension set up
Hi peeps, been a while since i started any thread. Anyway, finally i was able to install my new suspension set up.
So my set up is a set of Aragosta Coils that i got from Top Secret Japan and also a set of Roberuta Cup kits to go along with the coils, also from Top Secret. This set up gets a lot of love and hate reviews, but i decided to go along with the Cup kit instead of going Air suspension because i did not want to compromise the ride's handling (since you are basically riding on your coils when you don't have the cups inflated).
I needed this because the country that i live is a totally not friendly for any lowered cars, so one of the reason i opted for the cup kit is also because i only use them when i need to go over bumps or other obstacles, not to have that slammed look when i park.
I am very new to coilovers and frankly i do not really know the difference on how the new coils feels (i can't seem to feel the difference between the TS coils and the original suspension). I am also afraid of changing any settings and so i did not adjust the damping (thanks BB
) settings and did not touch or twist the adjustment from when i got it.
Sorry this is not the best review for your Chi-Town
Anyway, I've wrote too much.. lets start with pics
Note: Thanks Weiboy for helping me out at pretty much every of my aftermarket installation. A great friend and a totally awesome dude
The Top Secret Aragosta Coilovers
The Top Secret Roberuta Cup kit
One of my worker helping me out with how everything should flow..
The front coils were pretty straight forward and easy to install
For the rear i had to drill holes for the cable lines and hammered a little just so the cup won't hit the 'body'..
Ahh...

Thanks Kuro, umm.. not sure how low they go.. but i think i can still go down maybe just a little more. Its pretty fast when inflating and airing it out, but it takes like 2-3mins to refill the tanks.
