Default omni suspension are horrible?

is it just me or is it that the omni suspension sucks.

I've had them in my dohc crx for at least 3 months now and it's not a comfortable ride at all. It seems they bounces to hard.

They have reprimanded the 11 year old ghuangzhou girls that used to make them.
V 2.0 is better, they do not suffer from catastrophic failure.

getting what you pay for =

If you wanted a comfortable ride, you shouldn't have gotten coilovers in the first place.

i have had the street's on my 93 civic hatch for about 6 months now. I honestly have no complaints, have many friends who have had them for much longer than I have and they are still functioning properly. For the money, I think they are great. There are better coil-over setups on the market, but not for the price that you can get the omni's. So i think that if you are on a budget, then these are the way to go. Otherwise, fork out the extra dough for the high price stuff.

NoVa roads arent exactly great - the point i was making was, if you have good dampers, you can run higher spring rates without issue
