Onmi are good quality, and those PIC ones look they are good too. However, any off the shelf unit is going to have a close to stock balance (refering to over/understeer), even if the spring rates are high. I went with the ever common Koni/ground control setup, but I got higher spring rates in the rear (400lbs F/450lbs R), plus I added a 22mm ITR sway bar in the rear. I enquired the help of the suspension gurus on H-T and thanks to their knowledge I think my the car is just about perfectly balanced. Another little advantage with custom springs form GC is that I got my springs the same height (normally taller in the front), so if I want to move up or down 50lbs I only have to buy two springs instead of four, and if I just want to swap front to rear I can too.

But if you are looking to get more of an improvement in looks than performance get the omnis or the PICs because they will save you some $.

PIC's. My local shop, RevLine Motorsports swears by them and most of the eg's they have uses them. And they've had just about everything, TEIN, Omni, GC, you name it, PIC is some nice stuff.

And PICs come ready to install, no messing with compressing the old springs to reuse the hats...

i just started a del sol project, redoing everything from the ground up, and im going PIC, ive read alot about them and nothing but positive feed back, i have yet to read anything negative about them besides other people giving there personal preference. I had Ksport on my rhd crx and i loved them and id buy them again if i didnt read so many negative storys about them, i came to the conclusion i was lucky and got a good set and to move on to PIC&lt; they make hott LCAs too (PIC that is)
