Default Full skunk2 and omni power suspension

Im just wondering if anyone has used skunk2's full suspension setup or heard anything about how they ride. Ive also been looking into omni power suspension but ive never heard anything on them before.

There are tons of threads on both suspensions on HT. Personally I'd go with Omni as I've heard nothing but good things, the omni camber kit was very high quality, couldn't tell the difference between it and Skunk2 and saved a bunch of money. Best bang for the buck imo.

yeah the thing about omni power suspension is that its cheap, but my boys shop wont even install or order them because they say they suck. Remember you get what you pay for...........

The guy, can't remember his name who started Omni Power use to work for Skunk2, thus his designs are basically the same as skunk 2 but cheaper.

There have been quite a few problems with the Omni power coilovers with the sleeves cracking, but it has all been resolved now. Their customer service is very good however.

Skunk2 products are generally okay, but their customer service is crap. Check H-T, there is a 8 page thread about how bad they are. I have had the coilovers on my car for about 4 years now, and no such problems.

If I was you I would stay away from Skunk in case you have problems. Omni should be good now though,

As said above though, you get what you pay for.

i had a dropzone coilover and strut kit then switched to omni power and the handeling is much better. id say omni power is the best bang for the buck. havent had anything break on me yet. if your low on funds and picky on ride quality then omnipower will be ur friend.
