Default Other options besides Omnipower drag coilovers?

Whats up guys,

It seems that nobody has omnipower full drag combo coilovers in stock?
Can some one help me out
What other options are there besides the Omnipower drag combo coilovers?
My car is a Honda Crx 1991.

i had the progress last year. the rears were good but the fronts were too low...so i used the rears and used tein type basic coilovers in the front.

it was tuff, but i hunted down a set of omnipowers for this year.

I have heard of the strange engineering suspension but they are $$$.
Where can I find some info on the progress drag setup? Are those just sleeve style coilovers or full coilovers?

it is a full coil over. threaded shock body and all. BUT it isnt adjustable. it is setup by the valving in the shock and cant be changed by you. only from the factory. this is why i am thinking strange for next season, but if what i did this week works, i may just keep em.

go to progressauto.com and call them. they will talk to you. they are good guys, but i think they are just a little too low in the front.

Strange Engineering setup is not as bad as you think probably in the ballpark of Omni or maybe even less if your on my good side

i know on their site they list them out at like 250 a corner but thats w/o springs. i havent been able to track down a full set w/ springs. but they are decently priced. plus you get a top mount.

with the progress setup you keep your stock top mount. and everything else is new.

I have Hypercoil springs for the Strange setup. 850# rear(12") and 450#(10") front. All I am short are the shocks. So far best price I have found is 550.00 per pair.
