Default Omnipower LCAs....., Anyone have them & are you happy with the product? Pics?

OK, Long story...Long........

Back in the day (last year) My wife's rear shocks blew out on her '00 Si.
I got the chance to swap shocks (for free) with a buddys '99 Si , He needed to have the car raised back up in order to trade it in for full value at a car lot.
When I was swapping the rear shocks I came across a problem, The pasenger shock on my wife's Si had a seased bolt connecting the shock to the stock LCA.

I got tired of dealing with the bolt problem, so I just swapped the whole passenger side LCA/Shock assembly with my budds car.

Everything looked great after the install and my wife continued to drive the car back and forth to work.
Well, 5 days later....I was washing the car and realized the car was lop-sided/ un even dropped.
The passenger side was higher then rest of the car, That was with Skunk2 springs.

Now the Si belongs to me...Since November '04

Tonight I swapped the whole suspension out with Ground Control Coilovers, 5 way adjustable Tocikos, Skunk2 camber kit, Benen bars up front, in the upper rear and lower tie, Along with the EK Beaks/ITR swaybar set-up and Cusco front lower....But still have the same height problem in the rear passenger.

Put the Si back up in the air to finally realize the 2 rear OEM LCAs are slightly different from each other, just enough different to make the shock sit up half an inch higher on the pass. side.
I wasn't aware that Honda changed the LCAs between '99 and '00, But appearently they did.
Now I was stuck with different LCAs..... until my wife offered to buy me new Aftermarlet LCAs.

I'm doing a little research on OmniPower LCAs because of the price, color, and fact that the newer JDM parts dealers (PasswordJDM, JHPUSA.com, Etc.) are selling them and giving 5 stars for quality.

Is this true?
Are the Omni LCAs better then the cheap ebay ones?
Anyone have the Omni's installed on an EK/EM1? If so, Have any pics?

Thanks for watching me Mini-rant and hope to get some feedback before Monday...When she orders the Omni's

Hey, I got them as a part of a package from Kteller. Very good product and i couldnt be more happy. They are gold, and fit perfectly with new bolts, and look amazing. Definately go ahead and buy a pair... well worth it.
