Do you mean Koni Yellow dampers w/your OEM springs vs Omnipower coilovers?

I think you'd better tell us what you intend to be doing w/the car before people reply.

I'll go ahead and assume you are comparing Koni/GC to Omnipower. If that`s the case, stop, there is no comparison. The Koni combo is a superior product with a better warranty and more tuning options.

comparing the 2 is like comparing apples and oranges since omnis are not damper adjustable. its not fair to compare 2 products that dont even have the same features.

the skunk2s dont work as well as the GC. reason being the GC sleeve is better designed for the koni whereas the skunk2 sleeves dont fit as well.

Omni Coilvers are Very nice!
I bought my Set New and I was used to Tein HA and I like the ride alittle better for street driving!

I actually wanna drive everywhere if i could afford the gas!
Very stiff and COmfortable! Not too soft just Right!

The skunk2 sleeves don't fit Koni's at all (very dangerous to drive on)...
