    for elaboration on why i was wondering about price you were willing to pay a little background on my choice

    I literally took 2 months almost every day asking quesitons, looking at research, reading peoepls threads and such. I was deployed in africa and really had nothign ebtter to do. But anywyas, i initially had a budges of 2000 i wanted to spend on my suspension total (sway bar, camber arms, adn coilovers, and bushings)
    I got the arms for 150, the bushings for 120, and the sway bar i ended up paying almost 350 for.that left almost 1400 or so. I was looking at the tein flex. ALl the features were great, but from what i read, its softer than what i wanted since i wanted a potent handling machine to begin with (was hte reason for buying a del sol. cause we all know a DSM is faster lol). So i started to do my research including a HUGE thread on importlounge. The omnis were looking good, but when i could have other setups liek the D2, Tein, Even Apexi, it was just not feesable due to the lack of dampning adjustability i would have to have with a sway bar installed. The D2s basically have the same features and stuff as the tein flex. for almost half the price with free custom spring rate versus 120 a side on tein.
    Im not hating on you for getting omnis. Im just tryign to clear up that you had 100 to spend and chose omnis. thats all. Everyone is on a budget, i was on my 8000 del sol build. I had a certain amount to work with, and budgeted accordingly. nothign is wrong with it.

    Now it makes more sense

    Honestly, I've been doing this for to long... can't have a budget on your hobby.. I rather do some things much slower then build around a budget, but thats just my opinion though
