Stop teasing me! I can't take this anymore!

Got home today and these were in the mail 😁 I am going to cut and weld the brackets and fit them up next week. If the tips have no gap in the center they fit the openings on the 3.8 lower valance. Back on the road for work tomorrow again 😕

I'm thinking of fabricating a new rear section exhaust, mostly just for sound.

Damn! rear sits very low, I would say 2 inches lower than OEM springs! something isn't right

Are you sure they weren't installed backwards? The rear is not supposed to be that low. The front should be lower than the rear. My front wheels are flush and my rear has a 1 finger gap. Your rear is not only flushed but it is TUCKED. The Arks don't do that. At least, not on my car or on others who have lowered on them. I really think something is wrong. Either they are backwards or there is a quality control issue or something.

Fu%k was hoping maybe is was bc I'm awd.. ok back to the shop I go

Look at BoatShoes's car.... I took this photo last week, when I went to visit him, his car sits perfect and it's Htrac as well.

Yea they probably put them on the wrong way.

 

[Boatshoes]

For reference, these are the fronts


And these are the rears

 

[Boatshoes]

My car is AWD and measures 26-1/2" ground to fender in front and 26-5/8" in the rear. On the ARK springs.

 

[quanva]

Thank you for posting that I was just coming on to ask to get a verification of that

I just jacked up the car to take a look myself, based off your ID the front are indeed on the rear

Does the plastic inserts face up or down when they're installed are installed in the front, right now they are on the bottom

i know this is about a year old, but just put F springs on my awd. wish it was lower now. mine measures 27 1/4 front and rear ground to fender. i am adding 22" wheels with 245/30/22 tires and don't want any rubbing issues. Boatshoes, now that it has been a while, you still happy with the S springs? any rubbing?

So now that all the 20" wheel guys are here in this thread.....how harsh is the ride over the stock rims?

It doesn't feel much of difference, hardly noticeable.

Depends on how old you are. My back hurts just looking at 20" wheels on a sedan.

Amen. When I was younger, longed for 911s & the like. But could never afford them. Now that I can afford them, I want smooth ride & quiet cabin.
