Default Is anyone using the Omnipower USA coilover setup on their EP3, this looks like a great deal????

I have been watching this post; https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1052217 it looks like a great deal and I think they will work with you if you only want the coilovers. I am not planning on dumping the car I just want a sublte drop and less roll. I had been leaning towards the Mugen SS or the Tein SS (which I think you can adjust the dampening unlike the Mugen), but then I saw this post and they said they have setup for the EP3 so I was wondering if anyone was running it.

Thanks

Contact the manufacturer or distributor directly before you buy Omnipowers for the EP3.

If the Omnipowers they stock are of the new design, they would have gone into stock <u>after</u> the middle of November 2004.

The Omnipower design that Steve sent me to help with (alpha test) had to be sent back for redesign.

<u>If</u> his new design is being manufactured, now, that's one thing. But if the person whose advertisement you're looking at is selling the first design or the alpha design of the first attempt at a redesign, then I can not recommend it, and I do not think the owner of Omnipower would be recommending it, either.

I think I'd have been told if the redesign had hit the streets, but I will ask Steve the next time I see him online.

Until I hear from him that the redesign has hit the streets, it's still the Mugen SS that I'd recommend as the only high quality no-brainer installation available.

I checked with the sponsor/retailer via HT PM.

He says he does not have EP3 Omnipower coilovers that he can sell.

If you really want Omnipower, you should wait for a future announcement of the redesign's release.

As with the other coilovers in the Omnipower lineup, I am sure they will be a very good buy when compared to the competition.

Yes I am running omni power coil overs on an 02 ep3. They are the best bang for the buck period, but you do need to wait for the new version, its suppose to help with the alignment more. I bought the first pair sold and there are some kinks to be worked out. I called steve the owner and he asked me to send my stock shocks to him so he could work the problem out, so I did. He just started this business so he is working very hard to get this product out fast, If you can wait for this new version you wont be disappointed. Steve has been very helpful to me. I know you are concerned about the drop highth thats whats nice about these shocks you can set it where you want it. I set mine at 2.5 inches and they still ride nice.
