Default Omni-Power Coilovers installed! 1999 Turbo LS.

I just installed my Omni-Power coilovers. Sorry about the car being dirty, also, I didn't get any engine money shots. I'll take some more after I wash the car in better lighting. I'm have an ITR lip on the way. Thanks to Burke for the help!

My pretty purple LCA's


Another shot of the rear install and my custom 3" exhaust. I know I should paint it black.


Why do I have a 3" Exhaust? This might give it away

Nice view from the side


I'll get more up as soon as I can. My setup is listed in my sig.

Old setup was stock. Obviously it is a night and day difference. This setup handles amazing, "like it is on rails" is an understatement, and it is not uncomfortable for daily driving. It is so fun around the twisties, I actually got the backend to slide out from under me. This is the street setup 10k/8k spring rates. I think I would have been even happier with the sport setup (12k/10k). Oh well, I still love it!

I paid for a lip 24 days ago and haven't heard from the seller since. Here's the thread for that one. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=931844

Did you preload the suspension before you installed?

Yes I did. I still have to make some fine adjustments. Does anyone have some tips for an easy way to adjust the height? The instructions say turn the shock body, but it doesn't seem like it wants to spin.

Loosen the top bolt, and then loosen the lower perch and spin the shock.

I'm pretty sure they are only offered with 10k/8k or 12k/10k f/r spring rates.

Thanks for all of the complements

Alot of people are getting these now, just curious, how much room is there for a drop, beyond what you have it set at now?
