Default omni power full coilovers? opinions wanted!

So aftermuch debateover what suspension setup would be going on my 2000 si I think I have found a good deal that Im going to go with and I wanted to see what you guys thought about it. I know ksports are pretty popular on here but I just wasnt willing to spend quite that much money. I found some omni power full coilovers on ebay that arereally clean looking and haveonly been used for 3 months for $425 shipped. These are the street version with spring rates of 560lbs in the front and 448lbs in the rear.I havent read anything bad about these anywhere and they seem like a very reputable rising young company so I thought I would give them a shot. Let me hear your opinions.

i was going to get the omnipowers but several tunershops i deal with said they're extremely stiff. that means bouncing and deflection from hitting potholes and road perfections.

that would probably be fine for just me, since I like stiff setups, but if you're going to use your car as a daily driver it may too rough riding. that's the reason, i chose for the more compliant ksport coilovers i have.

btw, over at honda-tech previous generation omnipowers were experiencing collar failures (they were breaking under hard driving). The company has since seemed to fix the problem with the latest version. This isn't to scare ya. just make sure you buy the latest generation omnipowers, if you do get them.

one last thing, the average street price is $650 shipped. a company called kteller over at H-T sells a bunch of them.

one more thing, i'm gonna have to recommend you get new omnipowers if you can swing the extra dough because of the 1-year warranty you get.

Im pretty sure these are the newer version. I have also heard that they ride stiff but I have only heard that the slip on coilover sleves ride bouncy. Im willing to take a chance with them. I really have read more positive things about omni than any other suspension company aside from maybe koni. If I really dont like them Im sure I can turn around and get most of what I paid for them back. By the way I did go ahead and purchase them so I will be making a sort of reviewpost about them in the near future.
