Maybe it's just the vendor (not ARK) that's the problem for that poor chap in the link I sent you earlier.

Here's another post about ARK:
Ark Exhaust Type 2 :)

I stummbled across that one right after i sent you the link. The thing is, alot of ppl get the exhaust hoping it will be tame and if it has any sound refering to "their" deffinition of "rasp" then they hate it... i think ill go through with it and hope for the best. If that sound is true then i hope the wrap will work... :/ it could be the installers or a faulty system. make thousands and one is bound to be the ugly duckling

as for the coilovers, the more i think and look at the setup the more i think it would work fine. the control arm should operated just fine without the spring on it. all it does is hold the wheel in place and the spring is there to rebound for the shock....question is, ytf did nissan assemble it this way. maybe the springs are just too big to fit with the shocks. Im going to call tonight but im starting to understand more and more that this setup would actually work and is a great setup for racing.

My thoughts are correct, you just remove the spring from the control arm and install. I called ksport to verify. He mentioned that they haven't updated their site and that is why the 370z is not listed. I did pm thmotorsports (nick) and appoloize.

For the way they set it up I was also correct (after looking and studying) and it is to make the suspension stronger for track use so like MUST mentioned in a PM to me (....creating a formitable track car....) he was correct. Thursday (your wenesday night/early morning) i'll be doing the install and posting up a review of fitment and feel. To break it in ill only set the dampening to 18 (36way).

Thank you all for the help
