Working on my suspension!

So about two weeks ago I purchased ARK DT-P Coils and got them installed. Dropped it a lot in the back, slightly in the front. It evened out my balt nice. Perfect ride height for a DD (also I have 17" wheels, I'm planning on upgrading to 18" aftermarkets soon). My car feels fantastic around turns.





Just a few hours ago I paid for an ARK Strut bar. Can't wait to get that in and put on.



Enjoy! Any suggestions, feel free to LMK

Because it doesn't help.

There are race teams that spend tens of thousands of dollars on this chassis. Not a single one has a strut bar.

Here you go:

agreed, the Cobalt race cars and Time Attack cars we built had a cross car beam front and rear, but the structure was gutted and the cage needed to replace the removed structure. You are best to leave the struts alone on a street car.

I had a DC strut bar given to me and with it on I felt zero change. They are strictly cosmetic and I wouldn't have one if I had to pay for it.
