Default Suspension setup ??

Ive been putting my car together and its come to that time focus on my suspension. Just some fact before hand. Its a 96 civic coupe and is a weekend/track car, very little time if any being driven on the street.

Now my question is, at the moment I have GC coilovers and some KYB AGX. Im stuck with the decision to buy some Koni yellows and stick witht he GC, or sell them and pick up some Omni's. How do the GC/Koni yellows compare to the Omni full damper? ANd does anyone have first hand experience with the two for comparison?

If you want to run springs as stiff as what you'll find with the Omnipower drag kit you'll need to get your Koni's revalved.

So the Koni/GC would be more of a street setup compared to the Omni's as a full drag?

With off the shelf Koni/GC spring rates, yes. You have a huge range of options for spring rates from GC, its just that the stock Koni's would need to be revalved for stiffer springs.

I've owned both. The Omni's are not comfortable on the street and can be downright scary on bumpy roads (I don't think you'll have that problem in FL as bad as it is in NY :p).
