and wrx's, evos

his current product line is very popular with the honda/acura crowd in terms of price and performance. i have no personal experience with these coilovers, so you might want to browse a honda forum and try to search for the numerous threads about these coilovers

they look awfully similar to the apollo coilovers that we have, I'm going to talk to Jimmy when I go back to the states to see if they are manufactured by the same people.. as far as I know.. The Apollo's are very popular on h/a's here in asia, and just recently manufactured coilovers for the 240sx's...

anyways, like I said, I'll check on that.. as far as I know, and the few people that have owned these coilovers, all liked em.

grant, i don't think they look that much alike. do you know where the apollo coilovers are made in? omnipower parts are all made in china/taiwan like a lot of parts these days.

I'll say that you get what you pay for... If they make 240SX applications they are entering a field that is already filled with tons of suspension products.

They say "So whether you are looking for a great track set up or you need a suspension that adapts to public roads, you have found the right coilover. Omni-Power, Designed and manufactured for customers who demand the very best!" which is contradictory because a good track setup is not a good street set up.

The price is damn cheap + full height and preload adjustment as well. I really question these "bargain" products. I guess if you are just looking for something that allows you to set ride height and is dirt cheap this fits the bill.

spring rates for our cars are 10/6.
how retarded is that?

don't bother w/ them for our cars. they feel fine on a local guys accord, and the car handles noticably better....but there are much better options for not too much more money.
