Ark vs eibach 2018 gt LTD awd

[Ek9max]

Out of topic but Sways are better first mod compared to springs. If sways on soft are not good enough then go for spring.

More looking to make the car look better vs handle better personally .

Both on a level but you sure can't deny the aesthetics. Which made for a "fun" conversation with my wife.

I think they are not on level for handling, Ozstung and Stinger gtss compared both and found out sways only Stinger to handle better. Since installation is (more) complex for springs, they end up costing extra as well.

I believe the "fun" part though .

I recently put in Eibach springs and sways. I honestly think it's a better ride than stock, and my roads are pretty shitty - handling is amazing. I also had new wheels and tires put on at the same time as well, so that might be part of the factor as well.

Here are the ARK GT-F springs on my car. There is a before and after, you can see it lowers it quite a bit.

Before:
Kia Stinger Ottawa on Instagram: “Before Ark lowering springs, will post the "after" once I pick it up from Kia.”

After:
Kia Stinger Ottawa on Instagram: “Final result!!!”

Oddly yours looks lowered but the blue car at the beginning of the thread looks like the same before and after gap. I wonder if Ark springs provide more drop for AWD (and maybe his is RWD?).



OP, rumor has it Eibach was designed for AWD Stingers so all RWDs will have a bit of reverse rake. Initially I was disappointed that my rear seems to be lower than the front. I thought my installer messed something up. Then I realized all RWD Eibach Stingers look the same. So if a little bit of reverse rake isn't something you want I would steer clear of Eibach.

The gap on both looks much different than the gap on mine... I wonder if they have 18" wheels?

Yours is Eibach. Theirs are Ark.

Wheel size shouldn't make a difference between them. If one has smaller wheels he'll have bigger tires. Gap should remain the same.

Your rake looks similar to mine.

Yes, I know, that's why I liked Ek9max's comment and replied to shrikecorp about handling.

My pics are not from the exact same angle so the gap does not seem much different. I can definitely tell a difference looking at it in person. I am AWD and 18" wheels.
