Default Coilover Decision

Car - 95 Integra

Its my daily. Does see weekend canyon roads and (very) spirited driving on daily basis. Car does get tracked i would say at least a couple times a year.

I currently have OmniPower full coilover setup (sport 12k.f,10k.r) but i think its starting to go soft on me. (had it for some time now). I LOVE the suspension but i do have my eyes on the PIC setup. Its pretty much the same, 12k.f, 10k.r, FINA oil, non- adjustable dampers (which is perfect for me, i dont want to be sitting here and playing around with settings all day long) but $100 difference. I will without a doubt get the Omnis again but wanted to see if you guys have any experience with both suspensions and which one you liked more. thanks

ive had the same omni set up for a couple years now. its not bad, its been good on the track, and autox but if i had to go back or if Al would just send me a set id get PIC.. theyve proven themselves and dampening adj would be nice for those long trips to gingerman

omni has been great to me on track/canyon/autoX. And i do not mind the stiffness. If anything, i would get stiffer spring rates but im so light(car weight) that any stiffer would just screw the balance up.

I bought my PICs from MLR. I love them. Comfortable enough on the street (10k/8k rates). They performed great at my last hpde (VIR Full in mid-october). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else. Jim & Al @ PIC were very helpful and responsive with all of my questions.
