Default edelbrock full coilovers, any good??

Just looking for some feedback, I can get the whole coilover setup for 400 bucks brand new from my osp at work. I would however like to know if they are worth the money before go out and buy a set of them.

Haven't experienced them on a car, but it is a good product.

Please.. I can at least garuntee that the springs that come with the Edelbrocks are better quality amd have a better warranty than what omni's come with.

speaking of custom springs,
this is an email from marcus at edlebrock back from 04 on my question about custom valving and spring rates.
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">250 lb/in front
150 lb/in rear

They are primarily a sporty street package.

It is possible to swap any Eibach 2.5" diameter spring onto the unit.
One
of our initial prototype sets is running 400lb/in springs at all four
corners and has run at willow springs with good results in that
configuration.</TD></TR></TABLE>

wow, 250F and 150R is barely stiffer than stock.
off-the-shelf Ground Controls come with 380F and 280R.

Koni race shocks can be run inverted, but your looking upwards of $1500 each (memory could be wrong). The problem with having Koni sports inverted is that the shocks overal length has to be shorter to be run upside down to allow the proper amount of pivot at the shock tower.

Ground Control has a small article that details the fact that an inverted shock on a honda isn't really necissary. If your using alluminum shock bodies (like GC advance design), the shock body will weigh just as much as the steel shock shaft. This means it doens't matter which is on top or bottom. Thats their excuse anyways...

well there you go. omni springs are "designed" to be progressive. which somewhat explains all this preload business regarding their full coilover suspension kit.
