This is test version, and test version spring is Black color.

And ARK official trademark color is Red Orange.

try throwing this up in the south pacific regional area, those guys are pretty active, and i know for a fact that some of them need springs.

Same as Area, any chance you will share the spring rates?

02-26-2009, 05:31 AM
you'll love the difference man, it's drastic. the car not only looks a million times better, it drives better, and rides better as well.

Well, as long as the spring rates are correct.

ikeryder13
02-26-2009, 05:38 AM
good... a lil loud but they stop on a dime... i have finally realized that any mods done to a car u will have some sort of problem with u know... they just are still a lil loud but they are worth it

ls1fbody
02-26-2009, 05:39 AM
all performance brakes are loud, and yeah, there's a tradeoff big time.

Typically a spring will lower a base an inch over an SS.......

Fronts need more lowering but the rears look great.

The ride feels good, no noise, and feels really good.

The product make a comparative study with Eibach and H&R.

Front spring rate: 115Lbs/Inch
Progress rate: 200Lbs/Inch - Compress rate

Rear: 55Lbs/Inch

so how does this transfer to stiffness/softness and performance?

why eric? that doesn't make sense, i've never heard of brakes affecting lowering the car.
