It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

If anyone would ask me if I would go back to the stock Nismo suspension the answer is simple. Heck NO!!!! Money well spent. I would actually spend more if it was needed.

Do they make a true coilover setup or just OEM style?

New rims on the way to go with the suspension. You'll just have to wait and see what I got. I am stoked.

Forgelines?

I needed to bump up the front damper setting some more due to the summer heat. I am at 17+ Front and 15+ Rear. The car drives much better. Swift does not make 13kg/mm 10in. springs. The next step would be 14kg/mm. This would cause a damper re-valving. Guess I am stuck with what I have unless I want to get a new set of coilovers.

Can you get them revalved?

I may be able to. Someone stated JRZ (I think it was) could rebuild them. Maybe they could do an upgrade. I would have to call them. If I have to upgrade, high dollar dampers will go on the car.

I doubt JRZ will revalve them. Based on my experience, JRZ USA operation is like a one man show (Bryan Hise), and I believe all factory revalves happen in JRZ in Netherlands.

Most likely it was AST that was mentioned, since aragosta's use some AST components. However, I would believe there are plenty of independent shops that can/are willing to revalve aragostas.

It may have been AST. I think if I select to change I will just upgrade again.

The company Vorshlag should be able to help you out. That is the closest place to you i can recommend.

Although still an authorized dealer, I thought vorshlag had sort of distanced itself with AST and focuses on MCS nowadays?

Anyway, I actually had emailed Vorshlag the exact same question back in 2013 (for AST to revalve Aragosta damper), and I did not get an optimistic response.

I don't know there exact situation regards to selling the kits, but they are still very capable of fixing/revalving any damper and can surely make exact orders for some companies.
