Photos of Stingers with our NEW ARK Performance GT-F Lowering Springs

[TEAM ARK]

Hey Guys,

Here are some photos of our new GT-F springs installed on a few stingers.

For 3.3T RWD models the front drop is about .75" and the rears is about .75"
For the 3.3T AWD models the front drop is about 1.15" and the rear is about 1.00"

Looks nice but where are the photos of the AWD version? I'd go for a .7" drop on the AWD as I don't want the car much lower than it is however, would like to improve the handling a bit more.

I like that the drop on the RWD is 0.75" all around

Hmmm, I definitely like the more "balanced" gap between the wheel/fender. However, they're more expensive than Eibach and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of on their design/handling characteristics.

Just added some photos for the AWD model (see op)

Thanks for those! The drop looks very similar on both. Would there be any adverse effect on the ECS, with regards to the shocks wearing out faster? I did a quick measurement and from ground to the fender, I get a little over 27 1/4" on both ends. On the side by the doors it's about 7" from ground. I'm just a bit concerned that the AWD drop might make for some front bumper scratch on the stupidly large sidewalks in my area or the concrete blocks with rebars in them pulling it off like what happened with my BMW. I like how it sits though!

I'm planning on doing the rear sway bar first to see how that turns out, then decide on the shocks.

Anyone installed these yet and can share their experience with them?

Mine is the green car. 3500 miles on it so far, feels a tad bit more planted in corners, other than that in normal driving feels like stock. Looks great.

I love the look of the drop and am looking for similar ride quality as stock without harder hits on bumps. Does yours have the adjustable suspension? I'm also curious how these work with the lowering springs. The sport suspension reminds me of how my S80 with the adjustable suspension performed except that car had a normal mode that felt like the Stingers comfort level. Sport was more buttoned down and tight on smooth roads but man when you hit a bump it was harsh. 3 of the rims on the car was bent when I bought it and I felt the sensation through the car and didn't know until I rotated the tires and the front was real wobbly at highway speeds.

I liked the feeling of the standard suspension when I drove it and was hoping the adjustable suspension would be better. I don't often push the car but on those occasions, I want it to be planted and to handle well while also maintaining a comfortable ride as stock. With the change of the tires, the car had become more comfortable and much like my Optima hybrid, even with it's lowering spring. I'll see how things get after the rear sway bar then decide. Any additional info you can provide I would love the hear, good or bad.

My stinger is the black one of the very top. Its definitely worth it if you just want a better feel when turning through corners. Just perfect enough where you can take dips and bumps at a slow speed and not scrape. Hitting potholes and any imperfect pavement inst harsh on the drive. Definitely worth it.

Cars look great!! How about how the color of the wheels on the black car match the black chrome. What size wheels/offsets and tires are in that picture? Assuming those are Ark 270's in Black Chrome.
