I have never had V3's but I can tell you the Aragosta's preform very well. The dampers/shocks are good. The only way to beat them would be to install some Moton, JRZ, or Penske high dollar setups.

Interesting, I wish I could ride in a Z with them. My KW’s are amazing, best coils I’ve had on any car, so to see some people are willing to pay almost double for the Aragostas really peaks my interest.

I’ve also heard a lot of people switching out the springs for Swift’s too, curious on that.

KW Variant 3 coilovers, custom setup

Maybe ask him for recommendations since he had a custom KW setup that looked pretty legit.

Law of diminishing return. Each unit of marginal benefit becomes more and more expensive to achieve. The price difference won’t yield a one-to-one benefit, but it’s worth the admission to some.

Two obvious advantages I can think for aragosta to KW

- greater range of height adjustment
- avaiable pillow ball mounts

I have no track experience on these, but from what I read, the KW out of the box is insufficient for serious tracking, the aragosta will. If you aren't doing tha, it is not gonna matter

For a street car with light track duty, consider fortune auto or powertrix, which are closer to KW price

My rears were switched to swift bc I had the SPL read midlinks, which require a 2.5inch spring. SPL parts assisted in sourcing the spring

The springs included with the aragosta are too wide for the SPL bucket

I have Swift 12k Front and 10K rears on my car. I did the SPL Midlink also in the rear. The front is a longer spring. It is in my thread about the front spring length. I don't remember off the top of my head but it was a 10in spring I think. I used a 7in. spring on the rear.

i was referring to diameter, not height. the swifts are the correct diameter to fit the SPL bucket

i have a 6 inch rear spring, 10kg. kept the fronts out of the box, 14kg

From my experience, yes. Especially since it comes with new top mounts unlike the KW
