There is no review on the DNA yet because they haven't been officially released yet. However, Preston (Soundwave) has the inverted prototype versions on his car and I think he's written a review on them. Might want to try searching.

They will work for the FXT. Installation is $150.

Thanks,

Geoff

so the DNA fit an 05 STi? right?

How do they compare to the STi stock struts and pinks/group N mounts?
Do I need to keep my group N mounts?

Are they independently 16 Pt Dampening / Rebound Adjustable? Or one adjustment for both?

Cheers

Nick

Hello,

You can order it over the phone but these coilovers won't ship for about another week because they haven't been officially realeased yet.

They have not been testfitted on a wagon but I would expect that they'll work absolutely fine. Most coilover manufactureres use the same part number for the wagon as the sedan.

Unfortunately, there's no DNAs yet for the 05 STi. We hope to have these within the next couple of months.

Unfortunately, there's no DNAs yet for the 05 STi. We hope to have these within the next couple of months. These coilovers are less harsh than your stock suspension and come with pillowball upper mounts. They will ride better but will be a bit softer. You will not be able to keep your group N mounts with them. They are simultaneously compression/rebound adjustble (dampening refers to both).

Thanks,

Geoff

Hey Ed,

If you'd like a set, there are a couple of ways to preorder them (these are due to be officially released in about a week). You can either paypal us at sales@gruppe-s.com or you can call us at 510-783-5300. If you paypal please be sure to include a detailed description of what you're paypaling for and all of your contact info.

Thanks,

Geoff

A few questions for you about the DNA coilovers:

1. Who is this mystery manufacturer who makes these coilovers for Helix?

2. Will they fit my05wrx wagon?

3. Will I still have full adjustment, unlike other sedan coilovers, when I install them on my wagon?
