I was just barely tucking the top of my 195/55/15s until yesterday when i took the coilovers off to sell the car today. With 16's and 205/45's it was just a tad lower.
15's

With the old gt3 knockoffs a few months ago...

I think i have some better shots at home, but hope this is kind of what you were looking for. I love my omni powers.

If you looking to "slam" your ride, I wouldn't go with Omni Power coilovers. They drive awsome and are very streetable (Omni Streets is all I have experience with), but definently aren't the best to "slam" with.

We installed the Omni Streets on my friends DC, maxed out the fronts and still arent tucking tire. The rears have 6 rings left and are just at the top of the tire. Hope this give you some idea of what your looking at.

With all slamming aside, the Omni Power Streets are awsome for daily driving and other streetable applications!

ive driven 20k miles on my omni sports and don't think its too bad, even on these treacherous indiana streets. im sure theres far better out there, but given the spring rates the ride isnt really that bad. the shock valving is spot on.

i have about 15K miles on my omni streets and they are definitely not harsh and hardcore as many make them out to be. Yet they aren't built for comfort in mind.

they perform quite well for the money and have yet to blow them daily driving. Although ive noticed that when pushed to the limits, they are quite under dampened.

Got plenty left to lower it too. I got these usd and they have been holding up fine. Really like JICs and Tiens better but for the money I have no regrets. I abuse these on a regular basis... and I have had them on for about 4k

plenty of people slam on ksports. They are in the same price range as the OMNI'S. I just ordered mine for 599 shipped from JLB motorsports. I've heard good and bad things about them, but decided to bite the bullett and try them out for myself.

Not low enough? Man there is enough adjustment to put it on the ground

This is exactly how they sit in there. I still have some room to bring it down further. Let me point out these do not lower down much with the car. My preload is pretty tights so it only drops about an inch from what you see here after weight of the car is on the ground
