How many times does it need to be said? You get what you pay for.

How about the SPC arms? They're twice as much, yet no one's had any problems. I don't mean to be a *****, but it seems like almost every product made by Omni has some kind of serious design flaw that results in failure.

I recently tried to order some SPC ones for my car (00 civic) and the company said that they were discontinued...... so I was forced into getting shitty skunk2 ones, that are EXACTLY the same design as omnipowers, bushing-wise that is. I have a feeling that my skunk2's are gonna fail just as quickly as these omnipowers.

And yeah omnipower has had its fair share of crappy parts but hopefully they are learning from their mistakes and improving upon their original designs.

Weirdly enough, I do have some SRR adjustable UCAs sitting around if you want them. I bought them for my car (EG Civic), and the guy failed to tell me they were actually for an EK, then wouldn't accept a return. I can't say anything about how they compare, as I never got to try them out.

As for Omni, we're all holding our breath.

Exactly.

no need for a double post really.

Corey is right about the preload. That is important on the EK.


glad I haven't bought into the omnipower craze.

I use the new Skunk2's on my rally car, and ram stuff with them. No problems yet.

(Have lasted longer than the OEM ones (1 event a set))
