I have acouple exhaust parts from DNX and they seem to work fine. I was also looking into the adjustable coilovers. They are in car adjustable WHILE driving. DNX is a brother company for Monroe and Dynomax. So they do have a background in exhaust and suspension.
When i was looking around about 1 year ago, not that many people have heard of DNX or had comments.

you want to drop your car 2.5 to 3 inches for the winter?
Wait until spring before slamming it. You'll be driving a snow plow this winter if you slam it.

Oh ok. My bad.
I know a lot of the Protege guys love their Tein S-Techs, but they only drop their cars about 1.8 inches.
Good luck in your search.

2.5 to 3 inches and you want a plush ride... hmmm

http://www.torontocivics.com/tccforu...threadid=32739

and (since the pic is broken) that pic had a shot of a CRX with the lower control arms pointing upward from being so slammed saying "good job dumbass, you just ruined your car"

something to think about.

I wanna slam my car y0!!! and give it caddy comfort man!!! yeah thats good **** dude!!!

if you want a comfortable ride ... stay with soft springs ... (and soft dampners as I've found out)

anyways if you want a performance ride your going in the opposite direction...

and why do you want Coilovers anyways? if you don't corner wiegh the car then they are completely useless.. yes of course you can get out and adjust the ride hieght any time you wanted but with out corner weighing the car after doing that it's no good for performance... and why have performance anyways? you most likely won't visit an autocross.... or compete in a race at a track... and for the most part this rant is starting to apply to 90% of the people on this board... hell more like 95% I don't want anyone to feel like they are left out here... there's no need for permance parts if your car isn't going to be pushed to the limit... and hell driver skill is sooo under rated by everyone... you want your car to perform drive it not at a lapping day where you think you're going fast but at an autocross or a solo 1 day where you can get schooled...

ok I don't really know why I'm ranting I guess I'm going to have to personally ban myself from opening another suspension question thread....

Just so everyone knows he asked about DNX FULL suspensions and as far as i know he is asking peoples opinions about them or any info about them, as for the ride quality thing a FULL coilover will tend to be more harsh than a sleeved coilover he said he didnt want a sleeved coilover because they sounded bad so please get back to his question and stop ranting in his thread!!!

My personal opinion is take sometime and really think about a couple of things


1) cost! how much do i wanna spend! and how much your willing to spend because suspension is not just coilovers.

2) what is my car for - looks - performance or all out race

3) what are my future plans for my suspension ie. poly bushings, sway bars, control arms, stuff like that.

so take some time figure everything out and you should be able to make the right decision for yourself.

Has anyone every used nex coilovers? im looking at them right now, the shocks arent adjustable, but the springs are, so you can adjust the ride height and the spring recoil, it looks like a good deal to me-
