Re: Omni Power Coilover System (lube)
i honestly doubt it, for some reason i think it will be only height adjustable like the original with those two spring rates for track and street.

I don't know exactly what they're going to cost, but you should assume a significantly higher price than the Omnipower coilovers sold for double wishbone Hondas.
It just takes more metal to make the McPherson units. The Mugen SS nonadjustable coilovers sell for something like $1100, and I am sure you can count on Omnipower to beat that price by a significant margin.

I am not sure what you mean by "fully" adjustable, but judging from the prototypes there will be height adjustment.
It's a mistake to lower a McPherson Honda too much because it introduces a legion of other problems.
If I were Omnipower, I would have released a unit that lowered the car a specific amount at all four corners, and not allowed any more adjustability. That way you could design the tie rod connector <u>for</u> that specific drop, and know that the customer wouldn't be introducing handling anomalies by lowering the car beyond reason.

Oh I'm not really concerned with how low it will go, I just wanted to see if the new version would have adjustable dampers.
I'm just ready to get off these Tein S-techs with busted stock struts
