Default Shouldn't matter. With coilovers, there is no bottom spring perch.

Well there is but it is used to adjust where the spring sits on the shock body.

Default Is this the 'ARS' setup?

The only thing I read about the ARS setup is the one with remote adjustablity. The setup was some crazy high dollar figure too.

Do you happen to have specs on the spring rates? That should help you determine if the system was designed more for the street or more for the track.

Default i wish i knew...

i heard "through the grapevine" SPP is discounting these for sale. i thought the ARS setup is the only coilovers intrax sold?

i also dunno about the spring rates...but from an article i read in eurotuner, it *seems* they might be for a track setup... <shrug>

Default Just checked their website. You're right, 'ARS' is their generic designation for their coilovers...

Looks like you can get different spring rates for the setup you desire.
