So i went down the the ARK warehouse this week and picked up a few new items and installed them on saturday. First is the ARK short shifter version II, it is not yet up on the website, but this thing is great. I originally had the TWM stage 2 STS, and you'll see the comparison. The ARK STS is mere millimeters taller, no real height difference, but the throw reduction is greater...between 45 and 50% from stock...

ARK VII with Kat Williams TRD ****

ARK VII on the left vs. TWM stage 2 on the right...look at the diff in throw


Then i also picked up their prototype front strut bar. Now, mind you, this is not the color it will be released in as this is the only one at the moment, hence prototype. I noticed the difference from my hotchkis strut bar immediately on my first turn. I like the style of this strut bar also, can't wait to see the completely finished product. Enjoy!

I call B.S. the Front Strut bar "difference" it does nothing Performance wise for our cars..its just Mostly Cosmetic.

^^^ And seeing as that bar is a bend-for-bend copy of the DC, I double doubt it.

Strut bars in tC are for look pretty, and that's it.

I noticed it when I first put my Tanabe on, but I never comment on this because of the bashing. But it does look good, the DC one might look a little better, but I'm pretty sure the final version will be better.

Here is actual product picture of ARK V.2 Short Shifter.

included shift **** pic??

also if we don't need/want the shift **** can the price be lower a bit more (not that the "1st 10 buyers" price is expensive, but i don't need another shift ****--have 2 already)

i like the way the shifter looks with the height and the gold, but why did you have to make the strut bar EXACTLY like the DC Sports bar?

Shifter looks good!

Sorry... It is just package deal. Just collect another one for the Scion TC **** collection !!

arkracing

Well.... geometry configuration, DC style bar was best funtional and strong strut bar for the TC engine bay TC fitting and suspension. But we also, added best solution material tickeness bar and angle of bar fitting.
