Then you've made up your mine. If you order from their main page, Steves a great guy, willing to answer any questions and is a stand up guy.

Go and order, let us know how it goes.

I hear they are a bit on the harsh side for daily driving but I have no personal experience with them but I hear the quality is good.

I have them and if your only gonna daily drive on them, they will be harsh. With that said. I love them, but I do auto-x with them. I no longer even feel road imperfections unless it's a big one and that's on 45 series sidewalls. It's give or take.

I've been running on the stiffer "sport" coilovers for about a week now and I was pretty surprised with the performance.

If anyone is interested, I might be swapping them out for a different set of coilovers next week... not because something's wrong with the Omni's, but I picked up a different set which have dampening adjustability as well.

If anyone's interested, i'll be selling the Omni's for $800.

Yessir.... they will fit on all 92-95 Civics & 94-01 Integras. Also 96-00 Civics if you put a 3mm spacer on each side of the rear LCA bushing, or replace it with an Integra bushing.

Thanks John, but sorry... i'm keeping them on for now.

I was supposed to pick up a set of Buddy Club Racing Spec coils, but when I unloaded the springs I found out the rear shocks were blown... boo, i was looking forward to those too

I got the Omni. strret setup for the R. and I love em,

What a difference... I recomend them ... Sure the ride is not as smooth as the stock R but night day. handling / corners, all around awsome product.

The quality of them is impressive. Plus, the valving is pretty heavy duty according to Ray at Kensai. He says in regular form they can handle some pretty heavy spring rates without revalving. The only draw back is they're not dampening adjustable but for the price they are an incredible value.
