To those ITR owners that run omni full body coilovers...
I have recently installed a set per the instructions (setting preload etc.) and to my dismay the front end sits at stock or above and is lower on one side than the other. Mind you this is achieved when the threaded colar is all the way down. I have no problems with adjustability in the rear, just in the front. I will attempt to contact omniman on Tuesday after the holiday, but was hoping someone could provide some feedback prior to the work week begining so I could have a functional car. The only solution I have to this is to ignore the preload instructions and lower the car via the spring perch. Comments Advice??

 

Is your set Integra specific on the box?

Also, did you raise the sleeve all the way up?

 

is it sitting all the way down in the fork?

 

Yes my application was specifically for the DC2 ITR. The threaded part of the coilover is threaded all the way into the lower piece of the coilover.
And yes, the forks are all the way up against the lip of the coilover...

Any other suggestions?

 

Did you compare your stock coil to the omni one? If so what was the height difference? Sounds to me like you didn't measure things.

 

Your right I didn't... But when I compare the omni coil to the Nuespeed and Tokiko Setup I had on the car, the omnis come up about an inch longer in the front... Besides what does the stock shock and coil length have to do with the fact that the omnis will not go any lower without ignoring the preload instructions to drop the car?

 

I don't know what you did wrong, but my omni's can lower the car considerably in the front

Yeah, seriously, I am slammed and have an inch or two farther I could go.. Omni sport 12k/10k. Some people complain they can't get it back up to stock height.

 

Take pictures of the height and the installation. *shrug*

 

Tomorrow I will call into omni and see what he advises, I will also snap some pics and post them as well.

 

let us know and pics would be cool.

exactly my situation.. and my car looked like a 4x4 with the stock suspension, so I have no idea what the issue here is without pics..

 

I spoke with Dave & Bob at omni today... apparently there are 2 different length threaded bodies manufactured. They think I was shipped the longer of the two which is about 2 inches longer than the shorter one. I'll keep everyone posted.
