I'm about to try them when they come out with a full adjustable coilover kit (Compression and rebound).

The design sucks. It pushes the entire control arm out to fix negative camber, thus pushing the end of the control arm past the upper indentation in the strut tower so it can move freely. I've already created dents in my strut towers from my control arms hitting them.
I foresee the Omni kit being much better as the balljoint is the only thing that moves.

The OMNI kit is nice. It is essentially the Skunk2 Gen1 camber kit. Ingalls is a great company. The upright design which pushes out the whole arm is good up to a point. If you need a considerable amount of adjustment, then you will run into the problem he explained above. IMO if you need more than 1.5 degrees of correction, go with a balljoint style kit or a complete control arm kit if it is available for your vehicle. The balljoint kit requires much less clearance than the upright style.
