i had H&R sports on my teg and wished it was lower. i was happy with neuspeed race on my sol.

i have eibach pro kit on my EF now but im going to H&R race soon.

 

i think im gonna go with the GC's

where can i find em for a reasonable price? ebay has em for around 260 shipped. is this the lowest price im gonna find em?

 

Omni Power coilovers are just like the Skunk2's. Omni man used to be an engineer and designed all of Skunk2's suspension parts.

Omni Power is much cheaper than any other adjustable sleeve type "coilovers", I'd go with them.

 

if i were buying sleeve coilovers i'd definetely get GC. i'd say ebay is probably the lowest pricing you'll find.. unless you get used.

 

Really? :huh: Do you happen to know the spring rates they use?

I should have elaborated more with my first post. h:

When I was faced with the decision between coilover sleeves and true, threaded body coilover dampers, I went with the latter because I was concerned about matching the spring rates to the shocks.

With all the various makers of coilover sleeves, IMO it's easy to wind up with really stiff springs that may or may not match the damping strength of the shocks they are used with. Hence the "boing" comment...

And I admit to being overly skeptical about product quality. h:

I did not know that OmniPower made threaded body coilovers. If they've done their homework and matched the springs to the dampers, then that's great.

-2 types available-

1. Street (spring rates are 8k/10k which=~448lbs/inch and 560lbs/inch respectivley)

2. Sport (spring rates are 10k/12k which=~560lbs/inch and 672lbs/inch respectivley)

 

so you're saying i should go with the Omni sleeves over the GC sleeves cuz the omni's are just like the skunk2's? or are u talking about the complete damper kit

 

Yeah I was talking about the sleeves.

 

Omni Power is actually made in Taiwan, but their products overall are made very well. Everyone on Honda-Tech loves the full coilover setup Omni Power has.

You can ask the doood, he drove an eg hatch with the full coilover setup on Laguna seca and Sears point.

 

:thinking: Oh yeah... he brought that car to an NASA HPDE at Sears Pt. back in '03. h:

Well, I am duly enlightened.
