TEin vs. Omni Power

[aaronfelipe]

Disregarding price,which one would you chose.
*quality
*performance
*durability etc...
Please post why.

[Bruce Leroy]

I vote for tein. Aren't omnipowers knock offs? And i've heard of some of thier other products, like their Clutch Master Cylinder breaking.

[APEX i GSR]

i chose TEIN because of the quality of their products and the adjustability

i have heard of some problems with OMNI Power but i still want some for my DB1

[aaronfelipe]

I personally, vote for TEin because I have had them before.

[fight club]

because tein has alot more experience backing them, while omni makes great products, i wouldnt mind having a set of their itbs, i feel tein it more of a performance choice as you can get a coilover set for whatever you plan on doing, ie daily driving, drifting, circuit etc.

[99SI]

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Omnipower coilovers. I have the full coilover setup that is a basic nonadjustable setup. I know of several people that have swapped from more expensive setups to the omni's simply because of their performance. The new fully adjustable coilovers takes the quality of the originals a little further since they can be adjusted for comp/rebound. If you have ever held the omnis in your hand, examined them, and ridden them quality would absolutely not be a concern. Vteckidd can get a really good deal on both the full coil and the adjustables.

[aaronfelipe]

Zero votes for omni power. Interesting.

[99SI]

well with money not a factor obviously for their adjustability and wide range of selection the tein would be what most people would choose, along with that cool little shock guy mascot. lol. I think the price is what makes the omnipower a good alternative for those of us not on unlimited budgets but trying to get the best performance/dollar ratio. When you throw out price hell I'd rather have a set of Ohlins coilovers or Penske coilovers. If you're balling like that fuck the small stuff like tein, go all out. For someone who is weighing whether to buy Omnipowers, intake manifold,and throttle body or spend the dough on Tein's alone I would whole heartedly say go with the Omni's and the other parts that will get you to your ultimate goal. If you say, I have a perfect engine, drivetrain, chassis and all I lack is a suspension setup to have exactly what I want and you have the money then by all means get the tein. I know I've rambled a bit but I hope my point ahs been made.

Omni drink worked for me..took it 30 min before..and it cleaned out my shit..

[CSquared]

I say megan. I know that's what im buying when i get the money together.

[bigdare23]

[aaronfelipe]

tein!
That's what I'm thinking.

stay away from the omnipowers if u have a CRX, put them on my 88 crx, even at the lowest setting the car wasn't even lowered maybe an 1" and they also are way to stiff for daily driving, Stick with the Teins

[EclipsEvo8]

i have the tein type flex with edfc on my eclipse, love it.

[The BUCKY]

i just put the new skunk pro series on my car. so far i like them alot. and they are pretty cheap

its because you had the "bad set" . They fucked up the geometry of the EF shock heights. If you adjust the strut to its smallest length and hold it up to a STOCK EF strut its actually longer, hence why it wont lower it. If you have them contact omni and they will switch them out for the CORRECT ones.

If price is not a factor, TEIN. I have owned both, as far as quality an adjustability, TEIN is far superior, but $500-1500 more depending on what you want.

My GFs itr has Tein RAs and they were $1540 shipped. The omnis are $1000 shipped, but the Teins have FAR more adjustability . but hers is a TRACK car. so she wanted the widest spectrum possible.

Now, you need to ask yourself how often are you going to adjust your suspension. if you are driving a street car that will rarely need to be adjusted, the regular omnis are fine. If you want to SCCA or NASA then i would do TEIN

[RBpoweredSileighty]

im running tein on my da9 and soon enough tein edfc on the ______ :D

[BTLFED]

Tein. Period.

[SLow_POke]

matrix.

[Azn-Boost]

Tein is the best but if you're cheap go Omni

[Black R]

moton

[brads94accord]

tein...


the best coilovers out there are nuetron racing!

[Big Baller]

They are both crap, Buy Motons or Ohlins

[aaronfelipe]

Never heard of those.

[mp5o]

GC's and Koni's! :tongue:

[Big Baller]

Never heard of those.

They are real racing coilovers. In all seriousness if you are probally better off buying GCs and Konis.

You dont need all the adjustability that a true coilover offers, unless you plan on attending alot of track days.

To really setup coilovers right its going to cost you alot of money for an alignment and corner weighting.

[aaronfelipe]

How much would this setup run me?

[Big Baller]

Call mike at mainstream, I think he has a set for sale right now

[Julio]

I had OMNI in my old EG.. shit drives nice.

[sir2hb]

I have omni in my eg now love them they are great

[EX-Svic]

OMNI!

[§treet_§peed]

damnit you don't have the correct answer up there.... CUT SPRINGS FTW!!!!!!! :D

[YokotaS13]

if you have to ask that question between a 900 nad 1600 suspension yoru an idiot

[aaronfelipe]

If you don't know that there are DIFFERENT models priced competively, you're an idiot.

[ash7]

For street use, where price is not a problem, TEIN is the undisputed king.

[i4_garage]

TEIN.....hummm now i have made up my mind...thanx guys

[bigdare23]

I was "told" that Omni was found by one of the original designers of Skunk2. If this is true, you might now want to sleep on them.

[o_bomb]

[Rsxguy]
