Default Omnipower coilovers VS. my current setup

Just recently I've been thinking alot about getting new suspension.
The Omnipower coilovers seem like a nice new setup to consider.

Currently I have Ground Control Coilovers, and tokico Illuminas. I have no problems with what I have but I've really wanted to get a built Coilover for a while now.

So heres what I'm asking. Is it worth it to swap over to the omnis?
I haven't heard to much about them, but from what I have, everyone seems to be happy.

comments please.

they would be a good upgrade,
wouldnt be damping adjustable anymore,
but the damping should be good for the springs they come with(at least I should hope so).

but they do have different rates you can choose from..

whats more important, you'll gain dual height adjustability, so you candrop it without affecting suspension travel, and you can adjust preload

i just got my omnipower coilovers in the other day and so far i love them. i used to have skunk2 coils and kyb agx struts and i think the omni coilovers feel a lot better. they have smoother ride but they feel stiffer in the corners. i got the itr street setup for my hatch

yeah, what i dont like about agx and illuminas,
is their double damping adjustable(comp and rebound)

so you jack up the compression just as much as rebound,

when you do that, to get enough rebound to properly control your springs,
you end up with a ******* GNARLY stiff ride.
and to have a smooth ride, you end up bouncin due to not enuf rebound.
