These coilovers would be a decent "street" solution, but I wouldn't recommend them for any competition due to the lack of droop travel. However, this may or may not be an issue for the user personally.

In most situations, a good set of springs for the stock struts will leave you just as satisfied, if not moreso than cheap coilovers, with the same (or a smaller) investment.

Well, that's y I want the dna's. I put lowering springs and I HATE the ride. From what I've heard helix are a very nice ride, I just want some more feedback. Thanks for ur help about the road course. I'm not too into the road course racing. By the way what coilovers do u recomend for a good ride and price?

If your willing to spend the extra cash, I would HIGHLY recommend some KW v3's or RCE coilovers. They offer better ride quality and performance along with a lifetime warranty on parts. Either of these products will last for about 4 years without needing a rebuild. I don't want you to spend hard-earned money and not be satisfied a year down the line when your coilovers are starting to make horrible noises!

i got em....i dig em....better then stock by far

RdRacer301 · 11-27-2006, 05:21 PM

I'm considering picking up a set of the DNAs to have in hand when I need to have my Whiteline G4s rebuilt. For less than 1k, I think it's a great value if the quality is decent.

I have the Helix DNA coilovers and they are good for the price.

import111 · 11-27-2006, 07:39 PM

A buddy of mine has them on his WRX. He tracked them all day long on a road course and seemed very pleased.

i have had the dna on my forester for 6 months. i freaking love the ride quality and handling.

stickytires · 11-28-2006, 02:47 AM

How about noises? I read somewhere that it clunks, can anyone confirm?

Mykl · 11-28-2006, 05:56 AM

The least expensive coilovers I would recommend are the Tein SS's.
