Default What's the word on these Omnipower Full Coilovers ?

I searched but I didn't find much of anything besides someone who sells them that installed them...can't value their opinion too much because of that.

Anyone got them ? Ride quality for a daily ?

Any word on the product quality ?

Two of my shitty KYB's just bit the dust and I'm sick of this skunk2/kyb setup...help me out

Omni's = Meh, good for it's price I guess.

Skunk2's =

Teins = Nice for a daily

Koni's = One of the most tracked shocks in U.S.

Tokico illumina's = Comparable to the koni's.

AGX = Great for milder drops (Stock to 2")

I bought myself a set a couple years ago, and I really like them. I've driven some other set-ups, and they didn't feel right to me. I can't tell you what they were rolling on, but the Omni's are great for daily driving.

They are stiff, but not bone jarring. Under hard cornering, they hold up well. They won't be the stiffest set-up out there, but for a combination of performance with comfort, I like my Omni's.

err... 2 of my friends has omni's. after 6 months 1 set is blown and the other was only ran for 3 months then the car was downed to build the motor.

Now koni yellows... I've had my set for 7 years. yes 7 years. And they still worked right before i recently sold my car. Never felt like it was getting any softer every. koni yellows FTW. The best shocks i've ever owned.

Tokiko Illuminas errr alright for the softer ride. Blues, don't waste your money.

KYB Gr-2's good STOCK replacement shocks. AGX's feel good on the freeway but low speed dampening sucked aka. go over speedbumps very slow.

tein s techs... horrible drop springs... ss's are aite... and i use the term "aite" loosely... flex's, they were pretty good. If i HAD to buy teins i wouldn't get anything lower than flex's.

Ksport... Felt good in my friends 240. can't say anything about duration of life of the coilover b/c the car was sold within 1 mo of installation.

Megan... Pretty good in my other friends OTHER 240... same as the ksports, the car was sold so longevity of life IDK.

Koni's made me the happiest. screw everything else...

Koni's FTW.

My brother is actually about to trade his tein SS's for some buddy club N+

Should be dope!

For ~$1000 I'd SO rather have the buddy club N+ over teins.

I will say omni's are good for the money, but for that price you can have better suspension setups, especially if you EVER plan on tracking the car at all.

Plus, koni's and tokico's have a lifetime warranty.
