Question Anyone have some Helix DNA coilovers?

So I'm debating whether to get these coilovers for my wagon and I was wondering if anyone had a set installed that could give me a ride around the block? Or even a quick review of them so I get a better idea of what to expect.

Thanks.

I have them on my 02 Wagon and live in Santa Clara. You're welcome to try out the car, but earliest I will have free time will be on Wed night after work.

PM or e-mail me ( ed@runnion.net ) and we'll arrange the details...

Look for my review of them in the reviews section. I've since sold them to Ed (above) because I spend all my time driving in the city and less time AutoXing nowadays.

Yeah I read that, it was very helpful. Now I'd just like to experience them before I take the plunge.

Awesome, two guys in santa clara! Guess I'm lucky...

Overall are you happy with your purchase? I'm sure we can get into more detail when we meet but I figure it might be helpful to others as well...

I had a chance to try out the Helix coilovers on the track up at Thunderhill a few months ago. They're quite capable, and I'd have no second thoughts about using them on a street car (although they're not quite what I'd use for a pure competition car).

Thanks, that's good to hear. I have no plans to turn my wagon into a comp car, but it will see occasional track use I'm sure.
