Ark GT-F Springs Review!

[MrSmoofy]

ok so on my 34" monitor zooming the cars so they are about the same size on the screen and flipping back and both between the two pictures a few times I do see the difference now. Looks good doesn't look like the Eibach's which I don't like how they look so this may be the option for me.

It doesn't seem to be settling anymore (as aforementioned). The more I look at it, the more I not only notice the drop, but notice how it's "just right". It really is how this car should have come from the factory, but I get how federal regulations about road safety and engineering "extreme" testing/safety factors likely affected it (potholes, road conditions, maximum speed bump height, etc.). The next time I get gas and fill it up (which is soon, I'm running real close to fumes, now), I'll take one more pic for y'all.

Basically, the car doesn't look lowered, it just looks fitted. Me happy.

These springs are definitely NOT for people who want it to be "lowered" and look sportier by being closer to the ground, though.

Great that's what I am looking for, I do not want the lowered look and I do not like streached tires with wheels poking.

I guess That means I'm just getting old. I am all ready grouchy.

You might find this funny, but differences like this are easier noticed "zoomed out". What I mean is that it's how the brain works: other than actually needing it zoomed in to measure pixels, if you keep the two pictures smaller on your screen where you can essentially see the entire car within your eyes primary focus area, you can just look at one pic and than the other and see it. If you look at it on your cell phone held away, for example, you can look at the top pic fender than the bottom pic and your eyes will pick up the difference easier.

The brain does funny things with 2D visuals. I will mention the drop is actually easier to see in real life, as strange as that sounds.

I agree @ZyroXZ2 I've had my Ark springs on since January and I still love them. I posted pics and people said they couldn't see a difference, but I can definitely tell in person.

 

[MrSmoofy]

Think I'm sold on the Ark springs. Doesn't lower too much, looked balanced to me, does what they are supposed to do stiffen up the cornering (with the sways) I might go with the ARK Sways and Springs unless Eibach gets on the ball and makes a RWD Spring Set.

I'm actually going to go fill up gas today, so I'll take one more pic tomorrow that should be a more accurate representation of a "before and after", lol

 

[ZyroXZ2]

And here you all go! A pic after 6 days of settling, a full tank of gas, I lined up with the parking lines as perfect as I could, and made sure I lined up the grid lines in my phone with the parking line before taking the pic. This is as straight of a pic as I can get freehand to represent the fender gaps and sideskirt angle:

Very nice, looks perfect. Now all I have to do is scrape up enough money to get mine.

I really wish it came this way from the factory so that none of would have to spend the money in the first place...

 

[robz32]

That is indeed perfect. Thank you for following up with the photos.

Now all we need is one with the full tank, on the same spot and with the right tire pressures to get a more accurate idea of how it will look like.

Lol

Just joking. Looks great. Definitely getting a set soon.

FYI guys ARK is running a 25% off sale until July 7th on these.

So, would these work just as well on AWD? I prefer NOT lowered - too many bumps around here..

And remind me - any issues with adjustable suspension? Suddenly I'm a lot closer than expected to owning a Stinger..

 

[soulevo8]

I have Ark springs on an AWD GT2, they're excellent.

Of course the sale is right after I bought mine

 

[Robs]

Any 2.0L Stingers on these? Please share on how they compare to stock comfort wise, thanks!

Pffffft... My tire pressures are always correct.

Can you measure the distance from the ground to wheel well for the front and rear please?

Can you measure the distance from the ground to wheel well for the front and rear please?

About 26 1/8 front and rear
