ARK GT-S Springs Pictures
 
no problem, and yes then I would get them. I pretty much only DD my car so I set my camber very low. to get maximum rubber contact and life, I've got 30k+ miles on my non- rotated PSS ties and still going.

also My current springs are swift

Did you get both front and rear? I've read on the forums that some people say you only need it for the rear on the swifts.

Thanks again

yes front and rear, only thing I didn't buy from spl is the toe rod since I still have the oem spring bucket.
I wanted to have a lot of adjustability. the spl fronts are beautiful and were needed to get the alignment where I wanted it

just for fun:http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...462a6e2a3f.jpg

Is it possible to get these ark springs on alone without doing anything else to the car? I like the look of these springs from those pics. Also are there any pictures with the stock 18 inch wheels? I'm new to suspension mods.

hey so did you get the camber arms for both front and rear? did you need anything else for the alignment like the toe rods? i want my alignment perfect also.

on a side note i love the look of the gts ark springs. great cheaper way to go low. which im doing

i just purchased the SPL Rear Camber arms, SPC Toe bolts, and Z1 upper control arms. I Will have everything installed in 2 weeks. I decided I might as well get a performance alignment as well and save the tires as much as I can because I DD. I posted some questions about needing lower control arms and some people say they just need an alignment to get them into spec. I figure I want the best for my car so I got what I felt was needed. Some people also just recommended the rear camber arms.

I the SPL Upper Arms were not in my budget. Im getting everything put together and tuned by West End Alignment in Torrance CA. I cant wait.

Thanks

this i saw from a post on another thread, they received this info from Z1

"Regarding removal single Camber on the street arms can be adjusted without removing the whole arm, similar to a Kinetix design the outer joint only has to be un bolted from the knuckle and spun to make the adjustment. This is the most common adjustment on street arms."

Thanks

no problem man, I like answering stuff I know lol

Nismo Rays
-front wheels 19x9.5 +40(tires are pss 245-40-19 tires)
20lbs rim

-rear wheels 19x10.5 +23(tires are 285-35-19 tires)
23lbs rim

but I just got some 295/35/19 PSS tires for the rear.

in the future I'm gonna do some wider front tires tho ( but I'm not gonna go with a smaller sidewall, I like the 35 rear an 40 front
