i have omni's streets 10kf/8kr on my ek hatch that i daily drive. their great for the price. i touge with mine as well.

they keep the car planted on the road and stable, but i find that they are under dampered when pushed hard. for the price they do the job good. i've had mine for alittle over a year and a half and they havent blown yet. im' pretty dumped by the way as well.

you can't possibly go wrong with PIC. If you search on "PIC" lots of positive testimony will pop up about them. For both the apex and selects.

PIC's FTW...i've heard nothing but good about them. Both parts quality, performance, and customer service. Dont get me wrong, omni makes quality suspension setups but you'll prolly get more out of the PIC's.

please tell me you're not driving that car on the street. Why in the world would you need ONE THOUSAND pound/inch rear springs, and 670's in the front?? I hope you drag race that car at the track only. That setup would be quite unsafe in the rain I would think.

i dont think you can go wrong either way. they make great products. i have omni sports on my car right now and like them a lot. its a racecar but it sees some street time and they are definately tolerable on the street, imho. ill be purchasing a set of pic's race ready control arms in a few weeks. a friend of mine runs them on his racecar, good stuff. both companies make great products, you cant go wrong either way, its good stuff.

I wasn't talking about ride quality. I was talking about safety, like going around a curve or corner in the rain and the slightest bump causing the rear end to hop, break traction, and send your car spinning. 1000 lb/in springs couldn't be much better than just welding rigid steel rods to your suspension arms in place of springs and shocks.
