I'm pretty sure the Omni Power coilovers were good on the DC2's and Older civics.. But not too sure about these newer models

I'm guessing that sport means it's stiffer for auto-x, drag, and all that. Street possibly for a comfortable ride, in little or no means of doing that.

p.s: I think his name is f1nalzer0s or something of that short his name is mando and is very good with suspension try giving him a pm.

This hasn't been released, yet.

I know that he spent a hell of a lot of time with the design, a lot longer than some bigger names spent before they released their Honda McPherson designs. If I recall correctly, it's been close to two years in the making...but still not released.

One of the first shocks you get when designing something for Honda McPherson designs is that the overall wheel rate is so radically different from the old wishbone cars that your spring rates have to be absolutely huge, and so the shocks and valving has to be appropriately heavy duty.

Just bear in mind that if you buy it now it's not going to arrive for at least two months.

Nobody can review it for you because nobody's driven it except for people probably bound by an NDA.

As for the DC5 chassis they have been released and I have only heard good things about these coilovers.... They stopped production about 6 months ago and revised it...with stiffer spring rates for both versions, street and sport...the new set up is to be released on oct. 15th, so says kingmotorsports.com

exactly. I ordered these not know they were not out yet. I was told later after paying and have since been refunded...they keep saying 2 more months over and over again. Supposedly they came out a year or so ago and had problems...and immediately stop producing them. I think a company that does that...is a good company, they care about what they sell.

Konis are very good and I wish I had kept them....I'm kind of a weird person really, I've gone through tons of setups on my ep3..long story.

Anyway, the koni's out peform the tokicos I'm using. But I didn't care for sleeves...they just don't ride very well imo. Real coilovers...or just a decent suspension setpup.

I like my neuspeed race and tokico setup. It's not harsh at all and still fun to drive. I don't get to autox or road race anymore due to my location and job (Air Force). So they fit me well.
here's a little look of the drop...pretty freaking low The rear appears lower due to the rota wheels I have in back at the time of the pic
