Default I have to get a new suspension... which one...

Well my AGX are dead...

I want to get a new suspension. Im searching for a full coilover with adjustable height.

I dont know what is good for me. For the street and sometimes I go to the dragstrip.

Omni power coilover looks good for the price ??

Tein are IMO more a fashion suspension than a performance suspension, maybe KONI yellow ?

Thanks for the help... if I had to order now it would be a set of omni but I need some opinion... Im used to my Penske on my Formula Ford 1600 but I dont want to spend that much $ for the street loll

I dont know if I really need an adjustable suspension for the street... Im used to play with an adjustable suspension and do some setup on my race car... but if the dampening is ok on the Omni I will go with them. I dont know if someone who never drive a racing car or dont know that much about how a shocks should react, can tell if they are good or not...

Anyone know the racing background of Omni ???

here is a pics of my Penske... too bad its not for my Honda loll

I have the OmniPowers. Sport spring rates. I love them. Some hate them. I like being able to feel every bump in the road etc. But thats just me.

My girlfriend mainly, LOL. It isn't a "cut coil" type of ride though. The struts dampen like they're suppossed to and the springs keep the suspension rigid. The car corners on rails and body roll is kept to a minimum. If you like a stiff but forgiving ride get the sports. If you like a soft comfortable ride, get the streets. The valving is the same on all the struts, its just the spring rates that change.

Ive got KYB adjustables and GC coilovers. They have taken tons of abuse and still ride perfect.

Ok anymore opinion ? I will get 4 new KYB AGX but the problem is that I dont want to have to change them again, its just a lot of trouble... so I will sell them and get a better suspension.

How long did you run those KYBs before they gave out?
