Default Hayame....OmniPower....Skunk 2 Coilovers they same?

I was looking in super street and saw a picture of Skunk 2's coilovers, they look exactly like the Omnipower coilovers except the springs say "omni-power"

I was researching it and ran into Hayame coilovers, and they look exactly the same as skunk and Omnipower

Omnipower: (10/6k)


Hayame:


Skunk 2:
Can't find the pic yet

I know they look alike, but does anybody have any insight on whether each one is valved different or has different spring rates?

The founder of Omnipower originally worked at Skunk2 in R&D iirc, and helped in creating a variety of their products, one of which was their coilovers. So it would make sense that Omnipower's own coilovers would resemble Skunk2's. I'm not sure about Hayame, I've never heard of them.
edit: I should read the whole thread first before posting heh

I am not too sure on the Hayames, but as far as Omnipower and Skunk2 are concerned, they are basically the same thing... and great products!

Doesn't really matter what they look like...the Omnipowers are half the price of the others and are built just as good.

I was planning on getting these, from what the reviews say the sleeve style are just a better version of the skunk2s. The full non-dampening are pretty good for the price, but they wouldn't be comparable to a RA or HAs. (non dampening and price range)

i was just looking on jhpusa and noticed that the skunk 2 and omini camber kits are damn near identical...so i am assuming that they are pretty much the same as the coilovers

I am interested in this suspension also. I want the omni's but they are gonna be a while for the 12/8 rates that I want. The Hayame looks close to the same but the dampening is adjustable. anybody have these?

Props to Omniman. Had I not already invested quite a chunk of money into an Ohlins setup, then I wouldn't hesitate to invest in the Omnipower coilovers.
