Default Help: taking off omni coilovers and putting stock suspension back on

I have little experience working with my suspension. How relatively hard is it to remove my omni coilovers and install the stock suspension back on the car? Is there a write up anywhere on the forums?

relatively easy if you know how to use tools... take the tire off, find the bolts that mount the shocks/springs and unbolt em two up top and 1 or 2 on bottom depending on front/rear ... takes a litlle wriggling to get out but its almost too easy... lmk if you want help im in socal

Why are you going back to the stock suspension? What did you not like about the omni coilovers? I'm just curious to know because I was looking into getting one of the coilover kits from omni.

Will I be doing any spring compression? It says in the directions that I need a spring compressor.


I have the omni power race suspension and have not been able to go to any track events, which was my primary intention. No use for the stiff suspension, thats all.

If your stock suspension is still assembled you can skip several steps in the instructions.

Should be a super easy job without compressing springs.

Far from. I love my R and have no plans of selling it.

I once owned a purely stock 97 CW R, and im slowly getting back to that stock setup.
