Helix dna race installed....

Had them installed, aligned, and corner weighted today. These are by far the best mod i have done. A cusco 23mm rear swaybar was done also. Car feels rock solid now. I would have to give two thumbs up on these coilovers and you cant beat the price. Car also rides much better than the stock mr suspension. It brought a smile to my face

i will post up a pic of how the car sits later. Big thanks to gruppe-s for gettting my the coilovers out next day air.

Car does look better than stock stands.... How's the overall change in feel? Any changes in driving characteristics? Oversteer/understeer/more neutral?

I see.... I guess you are shooting for AUTOX.... That is just too much negative camber for the street... Let us know how you perform in AUTOX.....

That camber set up is fine for the streets, ran Evo with those settings for over a year no issues.

The camber from the drivers side of the car actually looks really good for daily driving.

Nice ride

The RNA coilovers have a superior piston design, much stiffer springs, and cost about double that of the RNA. The RNA's are much better suited for mostly track use, whereas the DNA's are suited for mostly street use with light track time. The real value of the DNA's is the fact that you are getting an excellent street / mild track coilover for under $1000 that is comparable to the JDM brands that go for about $1500. The majority of track only suspension is far too stiff for the daily driver and designed specifically for race tires.

Thanks,
