Little Photo-shoot Of My Modded '15 5.0

How did you get that deep shine? Mine's the same colour.

I couldn't ask for a better weather that day....it was little cloudy, darker-rainy clouds, sun in and out, perfect angle and my Nikon D810 with Nikon lens 70-200mm f/2.8

not sure if you did a comparison thread but how does the springs and wheel/tire package ride on the streets.. like stock or a little harsh, or just perfect?

Well, I'm not happy with them. Rear springs and drop is perfect, but the problem is with the front ones.

They (ARK springs seller's website)claim that front will be lowered approx. 1.2" .... hmm, in my case it's 1.75! They rub almost every turn I make, going in or out of the driveway, little bumps/dips on the road, way too often.

I'll be contacting them after the long weekend and asking for any solutions, but as far as I know, there aren't any other springs for our cars out there. Storm springs is the same thing - no go.
If they will not offer better springs, I'll be sending them back and asking for a refund.

Driving on the highway is nice, little harsher but feels like the car is glued to the pavement.

Wheels and tires are perfect! getting lots of complements

The weather was incredible today.

So I went out to take some pictures, then had to come back home because it started to rain, then it stopped and the sun came out, a few minutes before it set....

Thanks Dave.....it's mostly the camera, or I should say the lens?

Car looks good! Like the wheel color choice. Gray on gray is a good combo.

 

[Wolfhawk]

Those are some really nice shots! What lens / camera option are you using?

Just curious, but it looks like you stuck with the ARK springs, did you ever hear back from them regarding the fronts? 1.75" drop in the front for me is not going to work.

Thx!

Dareck takes one of the best pictures I've seen in a long time. He made my dirty car look clean lol! Killer camera.

Those were shot with a Nikon D810 and 70-200mm f/2.8 I also like to use 24-70mm f/2.8, but this one is more for a car show when they park close to each other.

As for the ARK springs .... I'll update my thread tomorrow with some news, hopefully it will be solved

@XPO439

Thanks bud.....just wait till we get a chance to use that new lens 70-200mm
