I think almost all these coilovers/adjustable springs are going to be the same thing basicly.

the thing with ground controls is that they make a koni specific which fits koni shocks perfectly as if they were a full coilover.

The springs are no-name. Nobody knows who makes them and omni won't tell. There must be a reason for that. There's a lot that goes into making springs. Not all springs are created equal.

they are made in china, and he has them made to certain specs. thats all that really matters to me. i dont care where theyre made, as long as they are made for a reason, and not to make money(like ebay ones) then thats fine with me.

which is why i support him, and his stuff.

what purpose would it serve to tell everyone that xxx corporation makes his springs, thats partially the way capitalism works.
contractors.

They don`t spec the springs out, just orders them in different rates. They have nothing to do with the spring design. A spring from a reputable manufacturer is going to be lighter, have more travel and closer to quoted rate all day long. And yes, I have tested their springs.
