Yes in deed. Just was looking for a good damper to take the drop. I dont want to do it ghetto and cut the springs just to get it lower in the back. So basically theres no other shocks that oculd pull this off? Other then expensive Konis? IM a cheap cheap man.

Are omnipowers the new honda-tech bandwagon mod. They have not even been out that long and everyone is riding the nuts. I mean, im am not saying it is not a high quality product, but there is no first hand experience with these coilovers longer then a few months.

I've rode on ground controls and stock 150k mile struts for 2 years and the ride is still great and struts are not blown. Granted it would be better with some konis, you don't have to have them.

Same here...... 2 years on Sportlines and a year on my GC sleeves and all is well. Rides fine, even with 97,000 miles on the stock shocks. I do know that my time is running out, but I'm not gonna spend the money till I have to.
