Omni power, Blox, and Progress Setups are the most common. Omni and blox are similar in price. I believe omni has discontinued them tho. Progress is the more expensive set up but i hear they do amazing work.

I have done alot of testing with the strange suspension on my car and finally feel as though I have it where I want it. I have a local guy to me here in NY revalve the shocks and we set the cars up with our own spring rates from what I have found works depending on weights of the car. It is not as cheap as the omni or junk2 stuff but I feel as though it works out really well and with the adjustability of the shock you can really make the suspension do what you want it to.
