Default New Omni-power 4-piston calipers?

Was wondering if anyone on HT had the new omni-power calipers? Curious to know what you think about them.

please ignore this guys stupid comments. I have never heard any information about them. If you search around for "omni power" you will see many good satisfied customers, and you will see that a few of there products have had design issues.


In the end do you research, and DO NOT listen to anything "rob." says.

I have had no problems with them. Omni.

If they ever had problems, they have resoved them.

Just make sure you don't get the first batch with seals that are incompatible with brake fluid!

omni has a very consistent history of releasing untested and flawed products. just keep that in mind when considering any of their new products. id wait a while at the very least. let others be the guinea pig.

as for rob. he's a blithering idiot.

the funniest part is that its not a joke....

thats why their clutch master cylinder failed immediately and left a lot of ppl stranded, because the seals were incompatible with common brake fluid.

I personally know of 3 people who use the Omni street coilovers and love them.

I have a set on the way now. They did have some design issues with the original ones but I have heard no complaints about their newest products so I would be willing to try them.

I have not heard of the new calipers though, I will look into them.
