Default Looking at STANCE and ARK coilovers

I've been searching for info on these and have found VERY little... SO if you have these on your ride let me know what you think of them, more than "they're great" please.

I'm looking at the ARK DT-P and STANCE GR+

The car is street driven so some comfort is important, but mostly it is autox'd and hopefully will see some track time this year.

I'm also lookin at the Buddy Club N+ but those are well reviewed and my cheaper 3rd option so no need for input there.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Well... since no one has any experiences I might just pick up the STANCE GR+ and throw a review up here when weather permits... apparently there is a S2000 time attack car running some STANCE coilovers (granted a nicer set) and it's killin it, anyway... thanx for lookin peoples.

award78 - don't know if you can find a better deal close to you, but PTuning in Manassas, VA has these coils for a decent price. Be a bit of a drive for you...but thought I'd toss it out there.

I'm thinking of getting the Stance also....so I'd be interested to know your opinion if you end up getting them.

Probably wouldn't be for a while, but thanks for the heads up.
I'll definitely have to check the shop out when I get it aligned, it is a hike but my last 2 alignments at Criswell Honda wasn't a good experience.

Thanks Kalvinsaid and s2k16803! Either of you have issues with the ride ever getting bouncy? Also I had Ksports on my 240 and you could spin the dampening adjust all day and it never seemed to change the dampening much, they rode hard as hell no matter what.... It's good to see both have decent ride, but can you tell a difference when adjusting the dampening? Like I said, I rock my S2K on the streets (which in NE Indiana SUCK) but mainly it's for autoX so I'd like to be able to actually have adjustablility not just a knob for show like the craptacular Ksports. Thanks again for the input guys, I was beginning to worry no one had them cuz they were junk.

Oh and whats the build quality like on those ARK's s2k16803?

i hate ksports lol bouncy and not high enough spring rate( for the other car i had them on not the s ) but i have ARK coils on my s it rides great but i tryed settng it stiffer and am in the process of fine tuning each corner for best stiffness/ride for my driving style will get back to you with more later. however even riding stiffer isnt to bouncy and has a good and stiff spring rate.

I ended up pickin up a set of Stance GR+ and I love them... great ride on the street and can harden them up for some serious handling when autox'in... if anyone has questions let me know.
