Do not buy Omni whatever you do, You should check out the PIC coilovers offered at , they are amazing coilovers and for the non dampening adjustables you will be under 1000

they have had many problems in the past with the collars cracking, some people have problems some dont, they people that have had problems say they will never buy anything made buy them again

I have also heard they have revised there collars and are now stronger

I agree with J Crack, OMNI's have had problems and those pic coilovers from are great, a freind bought them a while ago and they are a great ride he can't wait to put his civic on the track to test them out, plus they are cheap compared to other companies(price wise)

looked in to it, sounds like a great price, for what your getting, probebly going to go with the Fixed damping height adjustable coilovers,there a little cheeper just wanted to know sense you instaled them before, i guess you drove them as well, what spring rate would you go with for every day driving

go with a 10k and 8k ! I have driven a 12k10k and a 10k8k and for the street and occasional track user i recommend the 10 & 8. However like said you can have a first hand experience with them before you buy them to make your final decision. has probably received feedback about all there springs rates and dampening and non dampening so you can ask questions and rely on there recommendations aswell.

Good luck, you won't be disappointed.
