What's the problem?
I am guessing you have the first one, revision coming out in Jan.

Changing the front suspension on the EP3 is problematic no matter whose suspension you're putting on.

Take a poll and you'll find that just about everybody's dropped the axle out of the hub.

What problem are you having, exactly?

You are right . I got the first Omni ep3 coilovers sold. In fact I know about the release in Jan. I am sent Steve the owner of Omni Power my stock shocks so he can fix the problem. The shocks that he sent were for a dc5 and there was alignment problems as well as tierod problems. Steve has promised that the problem will be fixed in Jan and has been very helpful with answering all of my questions and helping me out. I know he is very busy right know trying to put out a awesome product. I dont know if you have seen a set of these yet on an ep3 but I must say they are very JDM and built extremely well. The stance of my car is sick. I wish I had some pics to show you but they will be coming soon. I have pretty good knowledge of this car and I am always willing to learn more. My last car was an eg and I must say that the ep3 has been a challenge for me. I like that..... thanks alot for chatting its great to know that other people are as interested as me. JDM/NA/keep it clean.......

I don't know what you mean by "very JDM" but his units are not made in Japan.

I agree with you that the units appear to be well considered from a durability standpoint, and I'm looking forward to the EP3 redesign.

I've already bought my (second) Mugen SS so I doubt I'll be using the Omnipower, but I have had a look at them and I agree that they appear to be designed for durability.

I know that they are not made in Japan what I meant to say is they're very clean and simple like most JDM products are. Not some funky purple and yellow stuff. I know you cant put them in the same class as the real JDM products, Toda, Spoon and Mugen. Thats cool that you own the Mugen ones. I know they are high quality, how do you like them? I'll have to settle for the non JDM ones for now.
Mugen ones will come in the future. Thanks

JDM/NA/keep it clean....
