Default Omni-Power Coilovers

hey i am looking into buying some Omni-Power full body coilovers and wanted to know if they are really worth the money. they retail for $800+ shipping new and im getting them for $600 to my door new through a buddy who is sponsored. I was going to buy yellows and GC custom coils for $780... what is your opinion on each setup? the Omni-Power's are full adjustable up to 4.5 inch drop and come ready to bolt on.
thanks for your input.

heres a link if you wanna look at them.

600 for the tylites you linked to is their normal price. its the more expensive ones with adjustable shocks that would be a good deal at that price. make sure you get what you are expecting.

what setup do you have? i am wanting to get the 12k front and 10k rear but i dont want it to be too aggressive. it is my DD i drive to school but use on the weekends for fun... im into dragging but like road racing more... just wanna see wats u ahve to say. also is your dampeining adjustable? i wanna get a feel for how my ride will be. the closest thing ive riden in was my friends s2k w/ 12k megan racing coils all around. also have your springs started to sag at all?

i think 12k-10k is a little to aggressive for the street if i had to buy coilovers again for the street i think i would go with a 8k-6k setup. too stiff doesnt handle to great when your hitting bumps. sometimes its not that fun having the front or back half of you car lift of the ground cause of stiff suspension.

i have had a set of eibachs on stock struts and it rode pretty nice... im assuming the omnis will just be a bit stiffer. and for the sagging im not sure... just what i heard from a friend. i like the setup though and should be aggressive enough to drive hard on yet decent for dd.

The sports have stiffer spring rates.

I've had these for about a year (the sports) for daily driving and really like them. Sometimes the big bumps are actually smooth to drive over but then you can sometimes feel little pebbles. I still like them though

Konis and GC's are just as good as full coil overs, if you can get them cheaper you may just want to stick with koni/GC.

i would go with the GC/ Koni if you can get them for 780, if not they are usually a 1000 set with the top hats and all, so i would probably go with the omni's
