Ark gts springs and spacers

DirtySanchez · 08-07-2016, 08:35 PM

Anyone with a sport model or just sport wheels running ark gts lowering springs and 20/25mm spacers? I was wondering if they'd have any rubbing issues, searched but couldn't find anything regarding the springs and spacers mostly just reviews and comparisons. Thanks

You tires won't rub, but your car will scrape very badly. I had the same size spacers but with Swift springs. Even at full suspension compression (similar to being dropped on Ark), I never rubbed. I eventually switched to Ark GT-S, though with aftermarket wheels, and after less than 100 miles, I switched to coilovers. The Z was too low that all the aero pieces under the front bumper as well as my FI exhaust were damaged. My shocks were also OEM, so if you have stiffer, aftermarket shocks, it will be slightly better. Fancy shocks won't keep your car from scraping though.

Thanks, I guess I'll see how it goes. I just wanted to make sure the tires wouldn't constitantly rub. It also isnt my daily right now so it won't be a horrible issue, also running stock exhaust still
