Default Who has Omni's on thier DC?

Like the title says, who is riding around on Omni's on a DC? Preferably dumped. I have them on mine and a buddy of mine was telling me you cant get real low with them. Well I am real low in the back, but it seems like no matter what I do, I cant get the front to match the rear. Maybe I am just not working hard enough, or maybe I am fighting a losing battle. Will someone with this set up post up a pic and let me see that it is possible? Also can you show a pic of the actual suspension to see how much further I need to lower to get even? Thanks
Heres a pic of where I am at right now. It's a shitty pic, but it gives you an idea of where I am. I will take some better ones today and post them up later.

I know, I just dont like how the front is higher than the rear. If worse comes to worse I will just raise the rear up a touch, but I would rather lower the front.

Probably yes, but the roads where I live are great. They are repaved every year. All the places I go the roads are great. The only place I go that I have a problem is my parents house, I cant get up the driveway, but that's cool because I can park at the bottom.

From what it looks like...You have already lowered the spring porsion of the coil over, if in fact it is the omni full coil over setup you have, make sure the adjustment on the shock body is as low as it will go, then adjust the spring porsion lower if you need to, however i dont reccomend adjusting it much lower then you have it now, for performance reasons

Turned out the front was as low as it would go, so I raised the rear to match the front, oh well no more slammed. Still looks good though.

The front is higher than the rear. I will take some pics today since I *cough cough* couldn't make it to work on this beautiful day. I will go wash/wax/vacume and do a small shoot. I will post them later.

...I dont' think so. the rear should be higher than the front unless you have no motor in the car the front would sit a little higher.

No there is a motor, not a great one, but a motor none the less. I don't understand it, I put them as low as they would go in the front, and evened it out in the rear. I have seen people with Omni's go lower and don't understand how. Maybe I am just doing something wrong. Is there any more info that would help you explain better? Ifso let me know and I will be more than happy to post, as I want to live up to my user name.

if you want your front to go lower, you'll have to lose your preload.

i have omnis too and they are lowered to the max in the front and it aint even tucking yet. pisses me off. my rear use to look like that in the picture but i raised it to make it less noticable.

i wanna be dumped and thinking about changing to Koni yellows w/ groud controls.

I did lose the preload and it still didn't go as low as I want. My buddy told me to switch to the Koni yellow's and Ground controls, but unlike him I have a one year old that come's first. Anyway this is my daily so it's no biggie.
