Im frustrated, Ive serached the **** ouit of this topic and cant come to a conclusion. Lot of people with no first hand hating, some praise, some rumors of problems, and many quality arguments. These have been out long enough know for people to really have some feedback, for a STREET CAR how are the omni coilovers? AND WHY!????

 

ive thought of getting a set but havent yet. have you asked in the suspension forum yet?

 

heard they suck for the price

 

i would strongly suggest omni power anything
the guy that engineered that omni power stuff
is the same guy that made the origional skunk work products
when he dipped out he just opened up his own shop
ta da OMNIPOWER

 

ive had my omni sports for a good 5 months now and i couldnt be happier......

get them i highly reccommend them

 

ive had omni coilovers on my 92 eg si for about 3 months now, and love them. installation was a breeze, a little annoying when u have to adjust them when they are installed. if u want a maintence free coilover with only height adjustment, go for it. i would recommend koni yellows and GC if u want lots of adjustability, but for a street car, these def get a

 

I like mine.

Thank you evereyone who has responded. What is the problem with adjusting them on the car? Id imagine its just 1. take the wheels off, 2. unlock the collars, 3. spin them up or down, 4 lock, 5 put wheels on 6. done.

 

Omnipowers are a good bang for your buck IMO, but what would I know?

 

Search, if improperly set up (preloaded) before installation, they'll snap right in half. Happened to several people on here. They say if set up properly you're fine

if u follow the preload instructions, once the wheel is off, u have to disconnect the bottom part of the shock, because to adjust them u have to spin the entire bottom part of the shock, not just teh collars. hope i make sense im kinda sick, ill see if i can find a pic.

 

every problem that people have had with omni has been installer error.

get them.

 

theyre great

 

well if you want my honest opinion .. i rode on my friend's ek with omni's .. i don't like it .. i have koni yellows and neuspeed race springs on my eg and i love it .. i just don't like how omni's don't have adjustable dampening .. for track i would prefer something stiffer .. and for street .. something softer .. i really like my setup .. people often say koni yellow + gc is the best .. but i can't say because i've never tried .. but do some research .. there's a lot of people that like omni's and a lot that don't .. figure out why they do and don't and you will conclude to your answer ..

 

I've had them on my car since they were first released.. i can't even remember when that was.. has to have been almost a year ago..

edit: i just looked, i purchased them on 9/27/04.. so damn near a year ago.

I've had absolutely zero problems, i've inspected them very closely after reading about some bad things that were happening to people.. but mine still look flawless like the day i got them. I think they're a bit stiff for everyday driving.. but i'm used to it now, the car is a blast to drive, and i'd recommend them to anyone for the price they are.

 

Ive comprised this pro and con list, if you have anything to add please post.

Pro's:
Bang for the buck
Company owned by respected member of the community
Good customer service

Con's:
Non Adjustable Dampening
PITA to lower
Regarded as stiff for daily driving.

 

i had mine preloaded incorrectly forever just so i could tuck some good amounts of tire.... they lasted just fine... now im preloaded and all i can tell is they ride a bit better....

 

In case anyone cares I bought H&R coilovers. Ive had numerous success with H&R, they are easily adjusted for height, and the price was just about what Onmi's would cost. Im always screwing with my ride height so to remove the bottom of the shock each time doesnt work for me.

Thank you for all your input!

 

I have the sleeves on for close to a year now. No problems. $177, couldn't go wrong.

 

I (IMO) think that for a couple extra bucks the ksports are a better piece. I went with 11K front and 9K rear on my 96 hatch, and the ride is very very comfortable. Ive toyed with all of the settings on them, and the ride suites every need ive wanted of them. For everyday driving, highway, dragstrip, and fast winding curves, these things have surprised me. I got them from Andy at bodykitsNW, and for a little over $750 shipped to my door, they (to me) were a steal.
