Hey guys, just thought I'd update you on my situation. I got the aragosta's for a kick-ass deal, so I decided what the hell. I'm in love with them. The ride is stiff, but bearable. I didn't have a chance to take any pics of them before I got them on my car, cause I couldn't find a camera. Sorry. But they look pretty close to what Ghost posted. Very heavy duty units, but very light-weight, all aluminum, pillowball mounts, 16-way adjustable....mmmm I'll take some pics when I get my digi-cam back from my friend.
Brand new, my friend picked them up for ~$3500 CDN. I got 'em for half of that- used for about half a year, still in really good condition. Sweet-ass candy.
