Default Omni Coilover Review

I have had my omni's on my 96 accord sedan since june of 2005. I have the street spring rates: 8k 10k and I love them. No complaints at all. Easy to adjust and very easy install.(with the help of b16supertuner) By far the best $650 I have spent on my car. Ride is awesome, gets a little bumpy and suspension noise isnt an issue unless I am backing out of a driveway or going over a speed bump. If i had to choose between a stock motor and the omnis OR my h22 and stock suspension, I would choose the Omnis without blinking.

use the wrenches to unlock the black collars at the top, below the spring, and move it accordingly up or down, then lock them.

I'm not familiar with Omni's or coilovers that have an adjustable shock body, but are you able to adjust the coilovers on the vehicle and lower it via the collars so that it doesn't affect the shock travel? I know by preloading the springs up heigher on their perches will lower it, but that affects shock travel.

you can adjust them while the lower collar is on the vehicle, use the 2 supplied wrenches and you turn them accordingly against each other and that would in turn turn the shock body itself
