I don't have them on my personal vehicle (don't make them for S2000) but our customers have been nothing but pleased with them. We try to keep almost every Omni product in stock all of the time. We are one of only four official warehouse distributors in the U.S.

the sway bar tie bar combo is made orginally by srr racing. the ride of the omni's which i think are the same as mine which are Top Speed auto coilovers. they used to have coil overs from the saem manufactor as omni. mine are stiff in the rear and not stiff enough in the front. i have adjusted them many times and it really dont change much. but mine i think are a old version the omni's are the new version which may ride better. but i will still go with the tanabe sustec pro. i know people that have them and they ride really nice and smooth. the price is why everyone is buying them(the omni's). they are cheap.

Holy ****, what a poor swaybar design.

Get that thing off there and put a OEM ITR bar on your car.

nothing wrong with stock LCA's - the chassis has so much unsprung weight its not worth trying to take it out with rear LCA's. I'd be afraid of any aftermarket replacement, especially in aluminum (compression crippling, hard edges, stress risers - alum doesnt bend when it fails, it cracks).

yeah, somethings wrong with that rear swaybar. it doesnt look properly setup, it should be pointed horizontal, not vertical.

um, well, maybe the angle of the picture is bad, but it looks like it doesnt even function as a sway bar by means of transfering load from one side to the other. looks like it just binds the suspension, independently to each side. id like to see another pic from a side angle.

really, who cares what a shock looks like? i've never understood why people say this. a) 99.99% of the time you can't see the shock and b) it is a FUNCTIONAL part... give me the shock that looks like a giant terd but functions great over the one that has anodized chrome bling blao purple and shitty parts inside it.

Sport- 8

they are a sport setup stiff on the streets, but not stiff enough for a full race setup.
A little bumpy

stiff doesn't mean anything. I love talking to kids about suspension, and they're only reply is "it's HELLA stiff". So what. I'll weld a rod in place of my shocks and it will be solid stiff

BTW, the end links on that sway combo are different, but still functional. It has a long link that runs parrallel to the ground which connectes to the end link to the LCA. Not the best design, but it still "works". I did some work on a 98 legacy GT and liked how the stock sway bar was.... the sway mounting bushing wasn't too far over from the position of the end link, making a more efficient sway bar...minus the plastic end links

I know how it works by looking at it, and its still a binding clusterfuck.

Holy cow that sway bar is screwed up. Take it off before you screw up your car.

Honestly rear swar bar doesn't do much to begin with. If you think you need one just change your spring rate.
