Omni as in the adjustable omni's? If so i'd go omni. That set comes with 8-10-12K springs so you get to pick and its like what $899.

or GC/Koni Yellow and you get to pick the spring rates you want. $460 shipped for the shocks and $339 + shipping for custom spring rate GC.

I'd personally go wit the adjustable omni's but I know alot of people here will recommend the GC/Koni combo.

What exactly will the car be used for, just daily driver, or will it see auto-x or drag too.

yea i was leaming more torwards the omni adjustables, but which springs would you recomend, 8-10-12k. i was just gonna go with the h&ar for now on stock struts just cause im sittin at stock height and it is starting to look like a monster truck. but most likley i will go with omni adjustables

H&R Sports are 2.5"/2.25" drop. Don't think stock shocks will handle that too long.

rates depend on needs, i'd try 10K/8K to start.
