Default skunk2 or omni power

hey dudes! i've got eibach pro kit springs with tokiko illumina's right now on my 92 hatch. i'm really looking to get some height adjustment. im also not looking to spend a ton of money. so i heard that skunk2's or omni power coils are pretty good for the amount of cash. so im wondering which will provide a smoother ride and better handling. cuz i don't know which spring rate would match up close with my tokiko's. lemme know what ya think?

Let me tell you , i have illuminas w/ omnipower coil sleeves and I LOVE IT! It rides excellently on the stock illumina settings. I have them on my DC and its pretty dumped and it still rides great I mean it handles really tightly and on big potholes it isnt as rough as it was when i was stock. I reccomend omni over skunk any day, much better springs, that are hot-rolled instead of cold-rolled. I got mine for $169 shipped.

i think that skunk 2 and ommipower are from the same designer, soo why pay more? read somewhere the guy that made skunkworks coilover was then changed to skunk 2, and then started another company ommipower, same design differents in price.

They are based off o the same design but are not made the same way or made out of the same materials. The omni's are made out of better steel and are hot-rolled, unlike the skunks.
