ksport coilovers or omnipower coilovers?? anybody have any comments

looking to buy coilovers.. Cant seem to choose between the ksports or omni's. im pretty stuck on those two brands,not really a tein guy.

I like how the ksports have the camber built into the strut pillow mount. Please any feedback on the truth behind the built in camber kit and how it works greatly appreciated.

they are the same suspension, but diff colors. if its going on a 2g CL there is no camber plate on the pillow mount. you are prob looking at a default stock picture somewhere.

yea.. thats good to hear... i like how the ksports give the damper adjustment and are not a progressive rated spring. if thats correct i was reading how th eksports springs dont get stifffer as they get lower,vs the teins which get stiff and bouncy when slammed to the limit which isnt that low regardless..correct me if im wrong...

I LOVE my K-sports on my Civic. I've heard plenty of bad things about the Omnis though.

Give JLB Motorsport a call and speak to Hikaru. Ask him if they are still giving the discount for a honda forum that for some reason I cannot post. I got them for my Civic with the lower control arm for $695 shipped, and the coilovers retail for about $1100, not including the lower control arm.

According to the K-sport website, the CL coilovers retail for $1300.

PM me with your email address and Ill send you the link for the group buy. I hope I haven't said to much. I don't want to get banned.

Omni's are the only thing I have rode in. I probably have like ~15000 miles on them and have no complaints.

Like Pdiddy said "not too stiff not too soft"
