Default Tokico illuminas + omnipower coils? opinions?

i currently have tokico illuminas and figured that with some solid shocks I could get away with some cheap springs. I was wrong. My current coilovers are so ******* small that I can't lower the car nearly as much as I want.

I've heard good things about omnipower and am currently using the camber kit. Anyone have experience with illuminas/omni coilovers?

alright fine. cheap out and get generic ebay coils. you dont seem to care about proper handling.

but then get GC extended top hats front and back because youll need to regain the lost shock travel.

and dont forget to get an alignment done once youve settled on your final ride height.

I run that combo as Tyson pointed out and its a rough ride. its NOT bouncy. but u feel every bump in your body. going over train tracks are the worse.
