ARK performance DT-P Coilovers (TESTING)

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.

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
