DNA springs... yep i said it

I have a set of stock gtp springs in good shape no rust with about 120k on them.

As for my DNA springs they have been on for about a year and about 10k miles on them. No sag and they have stood up well to NYC pot holes. I have bent a few rims and cracked one and the springs are holding perfectly fine.

Mind you the tires on the rims are 245/40-18 if they were 245-45 series tires the wheel well would have less gap.

That looks nice, I just don't want the vibrations and wearing out my brand new struts and other suspension components. Sent you a PM.
 
Right, that's why I'm leaning towards getting stock springs. My car is a winter/daily driver so it's more practical going this route.
 
Had mine on since around april i think, put maybe 10 - 15k on them. So far I love and I hate them. I used prime choice struts, and they have settled very low, way lower than i was expecting. They ride great not to rough, and the car feels solid and planted while cruising. I hate them because it leaves me wanting more, honestly the stance they are at now is fairly close to Ebiach height, they make me want coilovers just to go even lower. And the worst thing is, my car has become a snow plow =p

These photos are from October as i haven't taken any recently

Honestly if you want to lower your car, I highly recommend them. I've had no problems with them and they ride wonderfully. The stance is great for what they are as well

mine are still rolling strong on stock struts... dont remember exactly when i got them lol its been like a year and a half.. check the original post. but i cant complain. I would like the look of being lower but i catch my front bumper on driveways constantly as it is :/
 
I have had mine for a little over a year and cant complain. A very nice drop. Im on stock struts that are blown so I have some crazy pogo :th_bounce-yellow: . But Besides that they are great, especially for the price.
 


You really need better wheels. Unless you have the ones in your sig as a summer set.

I ordered these springs, see what happens when I spend too much time around GPF, I spend unncessary money on my car LOL.

Going from stock springs to these make it handle better on stock struts? I'm looking for a cheap upgrade until I buy new struts sometime down the road.
 
based on the lower center of gravity i'd assume yes.

based on the low spring rates i'd assume no.

pick where you lie in that situation, i suppose.
 


I know you're on a budget, but they don't ride that great. I would have went with SSC if I could do it again, but I'm not changing them.

I think they handle a lot better. It seems my car hugs the road now and my turns are nice n smooth. I don't think they ride bad at all either. No body roll when I turn either. I might be getting some different ones but I haven't made up my mind. I looked at my stance the other day n it looked good lol. But if I do I'll sell you mine if your interested. Also I seen you were going to buy that dudes for 90 shipped or made an offer at least. I ordered mine off ebay for $83
