ARK performance DT-P Coilovers (TESTING)
 
3 Attachment(s)
So far so good Just had the ARK performance DT-P Coilovers installed today. Love the ride so far but it is day one and we will see how well they hold up. ARK normally makes quality parts so I'm sure I will be more then happy with the set up. Now I need to install some rear lower control arms and send it in for a corner balance to make sure I get maximum performance out of them. Right now I have the dampening set to 8 and will play with it as i get use to it.

As it was cloudy outside and dark I did not take pictures. I will try my best to upload pictures tomorrow if it doesn't rain.

some specs for you all
  • 0-16 levels of adjustment damper
  • Pillow ball top mount w/adjustable camber
  • 6061 aluminum seats
  • Dust boot cover
  • 3-14 kg/mm spring rates
  • Adjustable ride height
  • Single-cylinder design
  • Mono-tube shock for quick reacting and quite
  • Dampening operations
  • Electroplated body for protection from corrosion and rust
  • All coilover suspension kit come with 15 months manufacture warranty
  • All hardware is included
:happy0180:

As of right now I only have 2 pictures. I plan on going about a half an inch lower but I wasn't sure if their springs came settled and did not want to lower it way too much. After a few weeks I will set the height to where Id like and then post more pictures.

Please dont ask me about pricing as I do not know the answer. Thanks

Just thought i would make an update with the PDF file for the coilovers.

Also, I would like to state I took the 86 dynamic driving academy this past weekend and the suspension handled great. very pleased with the handling of the coilovers. :thumbsup:

Ahhh.. South Korean company. Their dodgy English is forgiven. :)

20valvewynn83 04-16-2013 02:49 AM

The funny thing is that I had to recheck that like 3 times before I just posted it.

Captain Snooze 04-16-2013 02:50 AM

Or maybe they throw in a free sponge to wipe your self down after thrashing your car with their products fitted.

Saw this on FB. Updates?

Enraged21 04-18-2013 12:03 AM

Would definitely like to see pics of the drop.

How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking?

RedFRZ 04-18-2013 12:16 AM

Would like to know the range of drop it offers as well as pricing.

Thanks

This drop is not final as i just wanted to make sure the springs settled (not sure who makes their springs in case if they dont come settled)

Can they be revalved in the US?

Vten 04-22-2013 01:25 AM

Can you take a picture of the suspension setup please ? I'm thinking to get their grip exhaust and resonated test pipe ... May get the coilover along with it if they can go low ...

Thx

Sorry for the late reply as I have been busy this week. I will try to take pictures and post it. Any specific locations you want the pictures of?

Vten 04-26-2013 08:57 AM

Standard is 6k/6k. Not sure if adjustable but if you needed something stiffer you could always ask them

Shock dampening is adjustable but I'm sure if you give them a call you can find stiffer spring rates. I actually like the 6/6 setup. I should be changing the rear dampening to 10 so that I'm at 8/10

They look like Rebadged Stance. Both made by HSD in south korea.

Enraged21 05-13-2013 08:23 AM

What's the max drop on these? Would also like to hear a review. I'm saving up for these puppies
