HELIX DNA & RNA COILOVERS - First Production Sample Just Arrived!

Hey guys,

We are excited to announce the arrival of the Helix DNA and RNA series Coilovers. The Coilovers are manufactured for Helix by a world famous suspension manufacturer, the Helix coilovers offer the best performance for the dollar.

RNA SERIES - The Helix RNA series coilovers are designed for race application use. Heavily track tested on both in Japan and here in the United States, the RNA series coilovers are the ultimate no compromise suspension for the Subaru owner.

-Inverted Monotube Coilover
-6-Way Piston Valve Adjustment
-Full Pillow Ball Mounts, camber adjustable
-Fully Height Adjustable
-10kg/8kg Spring Rates
-Optional SWIFT springs available
-Full Track Service Coilovers
$2299 Available in 4-6 weeks
(Pictures available soon!)

DNA SERIES - Helix DNA Sport Coilovers are designed to suit the average vehicle enthusiast. Unlike race coilovers which often exhibit harsh ride characteristics, high cost, and sometimes excessive noise, Helix DNA Sport Coilovers are designed primarily for street service with mild track service in mind. Featuring excellent ride characteristics and lower cost, these coilovers are a fine balance of street function and track service. Fully rebuildable and available in multiple spring rates.

- Light aluminum Shock Body
- 16 Pt Dampening / Rebound Adjustable
- Full Upper Pillow Ball Mounts
- Camber Adjustable
- 8kg / 6kg spring rates
$999 SHIPPED SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE!!

Guys, these coilovers have actually been available for several months. But they were not released until we tested these coilovers for ourselves. We have not only ran these coilovers in our street cars (for longevitiy and durability testing), we have heaped tons of abuse on these coilovers at various tracks around California, including Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, etc. We feel that these coilovers are simply the best bang for the buck coilovers available on the market.

Please contact us for ordering information!

Thanks!

Gary

You didn't note anything about height for the DNA series. Do you have any specs for this? They sound interesting, I'm just no keep on my car being too low for daily use.

Thx,
Peter

The DNA are independently height adjustable meaning that the height can be adjusted without altering the spring preload. At the lowest, these coilovers will make your car too low to drive practically. At the highest they will be about your stock ride height. Featurewise, they're very similar to the Tein Flex.

Thanks,

Geoff

It's undetermined as of now but I would expect until the first production run is sold out (1-2 months).

Thanks,

Geoff

How does the RNA Coilovers compare to the HKS Coilovers RS? Is it comfortable?

The RNA are quite comfortable but are definitely firm. The valving is superior to any other coilover I've ever experienced before. On paper, they are comparable to the HKS RS but the quality of components and the valving on the RNA is better than what I've experienced on the RS.

Thanks,

Geoff

I was going to get Tein SS. Now I am leaning towards the DNA, it sounds great!
