i got omni streets on my hatch. using them for about a year now.

no problems, leaks, issues anything. not as stiff as people say. rides smooth and comfy on the highway, but when your going slow over uneven roads is where it gets kind of rough on you. Not bouncy, but rough.

i use the car to daily/touge and it does feel under dampened around certain turns and dips in the road.

over all, good coilovers. not the best, but good.

All depends on the driver preferences.

Average drivers would be comfortable with tein s. techs or a similar drop with a KYB or koni red shock.

Why are you so hot on getting full coilovers?

If you want a good DD setup you don't need to clam your car, some mild springs and a decent shock will get you exactly what you want.

Omni's will be overkill.

That's unusual. It's normally a "dumped" look..

You sure you installed it correctly?

(that settling to correct ride height crap is exactly that, crap)

best system that YOU'VE every ridden on? i highly doubt omni's are the best compared to teins. the word best is very open ended.

i said besides, i left it open

ive had the tein basics and they dont compare to the omnis on the track. ive ridden with tein flex and its a good system but it has some give with the omnis im running i have nearly no give great for track, i race atuo-x and do road race in cali. i know what im talking about casue ive either used many of these systems or have ridden in cars with them.

u dont see a set of entry level full lcoilovers for 500 anymore. omni makes the street style, granted that not what i have but omni makes a very solid product that can comapre with many different high end coilover systems

i agree, if you like a stiff ride this setup isn't too bad. I got the Omni full coilovers 6way adj when they first came out, they rode too bouncy/rough for me so i sold them and bought GC's w/AGX's.
