Default Anyone try Omni street suspension for ITR? Compared to stock?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of picking up some street level suspension from Omni. The Tanabe Sustecs I have are awesome for track (10k and 12k I believe), but are teeth rattling on the street. Not to mention how hard they are on ball joints, etc.

Anyone try street level Omnis? How compared to stock? I'm looking for something close to stock or slightly stiffer.

I'm putting them on my ITR in a few weeks. I've been running the fully adjustable version on my EF and I have been very impressed. IMHO its a great suspension for the money.

I have a street set and all I will tell you is that it is stiffer but...way more fun around the turns.

I had a set of the old design and Omniman sent me a set of revised shock cups that are much beefier. I think they addressed that design problem a while ago. I have pix in my for sale post:

maybe just try a more streetable spring for your Sustecs instead of a whole new coilover

i been using the omni power street power coilover system... for well over 1 year now ...suspension feels great stiff but smooth...make sure you preload it as instructions says so...these were the earlier models hasn't failed me yet or crack of break of any sort...

Thanks for the feedback guys! Sounds like what I'm looking for.

These Tanabe's hold the car over corners like you would not believe, no body roll, but it's like riding on frozen struts

But then won't the setup be over-damped?
