To give you a better opinion, I would need some proof of that chest-revealing by your girlfriend. But by judging only by what you have said, I would go with omni streets.

...because 10k/8k is pretty damn stiff.
now stiffness is one of those relative terms, where each person has his/her own unique definition, all depending on their tolerances and priorities. but when you start approaching race level spring rates on a street kit, any bumps in the road can get pretty uncomfortable

i got them off of ebay from import auto performance in florida. i sent them a message askin that if they couldnt get the sports gimme a call. he called me this afternoon sayin that omni has redisigned the damper seal, cuz they were using a pre-engineered one before and they just recently designed their own so now you will get better ride quality. but anyways, he talked me into the streets, cuz he said that the sports were almost obnoxiously stiff for everyday use. plus they was on back order and im impatient. got they for 688 shipped with insurance. ggod deal i think, password's were over 700 shipped to me,(SC).

I love my omni streets, they give a nice firm ride on my EF. I'm sure once you get them on your car you will be glad you went with the streets over the sports.

yeah i really like the streets since i've had them. and if you ever wanted to stiffen them up you can just tighten up the spring pre-load. its cool.
