juss wondering how they ride...etc...etc...im thinkng about getting em...but i jsus wanna hear from other people how dey are and stuff....so if i can get n e feedback i'll bee grateful...thanks

 

pretty good
a bit stiffer than stock shocks thou
but not too stiff to the point where ur stomach hurts when u hit big bumps on the freeway
ive ridden in a car wit koni yellow's...set at a pretty stiff setting...pretty traumatizing on the body

 

thanks alot...u think they ride better then skunk or GC?

 

definitely, and they are a true adjustable coilover. Worth the extra in the long run because the shock/spring are designed together.

 

I have the sleeves. Looks to be of good quality. Good ride. Not too stiff at all. Simple install (unless you strip the hex key hole on the rear strut and have been riding around hotrod-ish for 2 months).

 

thanks all

 

You can read my review on d-series.org http://www.d-series.org/forums...12819

 

I've had the Street type omni coilovers on for about 4 months now and i love them. They are stiffer than the eibach sportline springs i had on my car, but not too stiff, so you can still drive your g/f around.

 

I've got the sports on my civic, daily driver... they are great

my car handles really well [imo] and the ride is pretty stiff, it's not bouncy like a ricer, but you can feel everything...

Get the omni's

 

I still have yet to hear a bad comment about them, hopefully I get mine this month.

"First let's back up and say that you should not purchase springs because they "match" your shocks. Springs are upstream in the suspension from the shocks so you should select springs based on your car and your wants and needs for it. Springs carry the weight of the car and for a given input will establish basically how much movement you will get. " From CRX Lee

There is no differnce between how a car with threaded sleeves or threaded shocks perform, the differnce is going to be in the shock itself and the spring, how the perch is adjusted weather it be by adding adapters or by a threaded body shock is not going to effect how it rides. Whats going to effect the ride is the spring rate and how the damper handels that spring rate, if it is underdampened it will be bouncy, over dampened it will be jerky/rough. Omni's are not bad for the price but I would like to see what everyone thinks of these is a year.

 

What is the benefit of coilovers over shorter springs and/or vice versa?

Threaded bodied shocks or threaded sleeves give you the ablity to alter your ride height independtaly of each other, this can help with cornerweighting and other performance related issues. Threaded shocks/sleeve kits generally come with linear spring rates which will generally ride stiffer than stock depending on that spring rate. Lowring Springs are progressive rate springs which means the spring rate goes up as they compress, making the car perform better when being driving harder and ride good when crusing.

FYI Also, most hondas have "coilovers" from the factory, the spring is over the shock hence the term coilover. The term coil-over cam to be associated with threaded bodied /shocks/sleeves when the muscle car guys where replacing/relocation springs with aftermarket coilovers that had threaded bodies/sleeves.

 

thanks all for comments!!
