Absolutely. Before under hard acceleration stock was good but under heavy "G" loads like high speed corners or medium speed hard turns it was inadequate to say the least. Now after, and I never put the ARK coilovers on, it is a brand new car. It feels linear in steering and body roll/shift throughout the turn transitions at all speeds. This set up is currently on hard setting on front and rear sway bars as I like to feel 100 % in control in all transition situations versus having comfort at all times. This by no means changes the suspension compressing or rebounding as it really stays the same. I believe I'm going to run airlift PERFORMANCE suspension instead of coilovers as the newest airbag setups are even used on time attack road rally cars. Like pikes peak type of runs. Look at you tube videos of the testimonials links from the sponsored cars that are really impressive in the driver's explaining why they switched from coilovers and how they have 100 percent confidence and actually place with this type of set up.
Ohh very nice man I’m
Excited most likely in the future next thing would be the sway bars for me .
So with the air suspension u can change the height and stiffness w a button ?

Same thing happened to my passenger side mirror when changing the covers. Hope you don't have a GT2 or it was an expensive mistake.

Lol, dealership wants $405.00 for a piece of glass, found it for $40.00. the parts guy even could not believe the price and said go online, you will find it for a fraction of that price.

Pchek,
There are two clasps at top of mirror, the mistake was trying to push out from side before wedging those top pieces loose. As soon as replacement comes will document. There are videos but they did not break the glass so that part is not really documented:)

WinningGT I have a GT1 but prices at dealerships were from 280-305 all way to 405. I found an OEM shop that sold me one for $40 plus shipping, called them to verify fit. I could care less if aftermarket as long as it fits like the original:)

When I was trying to find the mirror, there was a lot of unclear descriptions on the parts. I believe on the GT1, if you have the drivewise package, it is still the $287 dollar mirror. I can try to dig up the picture of the back of my mirror, but if your mirror has a single brown wire from the top center of the mirror, you need the one labeled as "with camera"

I don't, only auto dim, 40 vs 280 and being the passenger side...if it's only a piece of glass I'll be ok lol. But totally understand why you had no choice with that package

Your referring to the blind spot detection?

I don't know for sure if blind spot is part of it. Definitely the lane keep assist. I had ordered the $80 mirror originally because I don't have a 360 camera, and the parts guy agreed, but it was not right. The only difference is that extra brown wire, which makes the connector different.
