There are 2 options for the 86 (pillowball and rubber mounts). Both come equipped with 7 (F) / 5 (R) kg/mm springs and ~1" drop. Cost is $2,500 in Japan. With shipping, you're in the price range of some very high quality coilovers.

when buying decent coilovers you always have to be thinking of support down the line if your Japanese leak or need a scheduled rebuild, you're gonna pay a pretty penny shipping them to Japan and back, plus process time.

For that price I'd be all over the RCE Tarmac 2s.

A little late to the party here, but we actually work directly with Aragosta and use their systems on a number of our demo cars and recommend them for use on customer cars. Aragosta coilovers are actually manufactured by AST who makes high-end race dampers including Moton which is used on a number of FIA GT, and Touring cars. In answer to your statement, if you did require a rebuild the Aragosta coilovers could be rebuilt by AST Suspension who are located over here in California. |

Either way, AST will rebuild them. They are one of the decent MR2 setups out there.
