Ark GT-F springs just put on.

Kraken370 · 04-15-2016, 08:36 PM

So I just got my ark gtf springs put on today and first impressions are not too great. The back looks nice but the front is way too high still. I feel like I wasted $675 to buy and install them. I'm going to wait a week for an alignment to let them settle. There is a decent amount of camber. I noticed my ride is a little softer now and the steering is tighter. Mixed feelings on everything. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow to see again how it looks. I can't load a picture for some reason it says its too big.

Day 2: It looks like l they settled a little and the drop seems more noticeable. I still wish it was a tad lower in the front but I don't think it's work spending another $600. I plan on getting wheels next. The pictures won't attach for some reason so if you want to see it check out my instagram @hotch370z

The front will stay with a gap. I have them on my Nismo and I had them on my G37 and the drop is almost exact between the two. I'm happy with them though. My camber is'nt bad at all even though I haven't added my spacers yet but I'm also running 305 rears.

This is how it stays on the Z

Very nice looking Z. I do see what you mean about the front gap looking a little higher than rear but overall looks nice.

I think you just need a spacer in the front

OP I see what you are saying. It is a bit much on the front. Good information for everyone else who are considering this.

I think it will look better when i get bigger wheels than the stock 18 inch i have on now. The wheel wells are huge on these cars.
