depends on ur needs.. omni's slam the **** out of the car but ok quality teins better quality and good ride for a daily.. i say teins for u

 

I vote for Tein but its just me though.

 

no d2's or anything? to be safe i would go with tein basics, but they ride pretty soft and dont drop too much. if you want to be slammed then get the omni's.

 

If you want a nice, stiff, SLAMMED ride.. go for the Omni.

I believe Teins are incredibly soft compared to the rest. Well.. especially my coilovers.

what coilovers do you have?

 

if u don't mind a STIFF ride get the omni's! if u like it softer go for the tein.... easy GL

 

Well I like softer ride, but I want to be at least 1 finger gap all around with the 18" wheels I'm going with. None of my friends have Tein, I only rode in cars with Skunk2s and NEX with those being super stiff especially the Skunk2s...

AMRs

 

AMRs

sweet! how u liking them? i have some ksports, basically the same thing.

 

I have the omni's and the ride is stiff...I love it but it's not for everyone. I hear that teins are incredibly soft, close to OEM ride.

 

ALL the Teins i've seen have started rusting...

The D2s, Ksport and the Omnis hold up much better.... no rust so far on my friend's after 2 years. But my friend's Tein's is so rusted right now only after 4 years.

 

I doubt I'm gonna see any rust at all. I'm at evergreen state no winters really just rain, and the car is gonna be garaged after the mods installed. Not looking for a really stiff ride my friend has his NEX coilovers for like 4 years he got some fed up with them that he got Tanabe springs and illuminas instead. I want controllable ride height so springs are not an option for me .

 

thankyou for starting this thread Im having to make the same choice this week. I mean I dont want to be bouncing all over the place but I dont want to be really stiff like make my whole car bang when I hit a bump

 

sooo where can a person get a decent price on Ksport Kontrol Pro?!?! i see price 780 and 835 ...anything lower then 780?if anybody know can you give me the website to it.

thanks

 

Pm liftoman see what he can do for you.

Pretty much everyone touched the base on how the ride is with the Teins vs. Omni Powers but you should also consider the preload characteristics of your suspension. Since the Teins do not have a separate height perch (like the Omnis) you adjust the height by adjusting the preload, ultimately reducing your shock travel. For most people this is not too much of a problem but it is nice knowing that you will not bottom out when driving your car. The Omnis allow for more adjustment in terms of your height and preload settings. Since they have the separate height perch they allow you to adjust the ride height without touching the preload, you will have full shock travel no matter what your ride height is as long as you do not mess with the preload.

Tein's spring rates are rather soft when comparing them to the Omni Powers. The Teins come stock with 7K (front)/4K (rear) spring rates with their SS and Basic coilovers. These springs are rather soft and provide a nice comfy ride when comparing them to the Omni Powers (10K (front)/6K (rear))

So there are pros and cons to both the Teins and Omnis. I really cannot say which ones you should get because personally I like a nice stiff ride but would prefer a name like Tein over Omni so for me it is a toss up. You should consider alternative companies that make suspension components for your car other than Tein and Omni Power (I'm sure you can find other coilover makers who have coilovers in the same price range).

 

doc X: is it true u gotta have ur coils 'rebuilt' after like 2years? kinda like maintenance? taking them apart and reassembling them? i don't like how mine seized up over just 1 winter i have the megan racing coils

 

I've heard of some companies coilovers essentially failing over a given time and having to have them rebuilt but I've never actually heard a specific timeline like one year or two years.

 

I heard Teins are simple to overhaul...though they supposed to lost over a while however any suspension components are prone to failing due to your driving habits, and weathering conditions.

~I will go with Teins since it provide enough lowering compability for me, and I would wish for a softer ride. Thursday night is when I will order my set thanks for all the help~

I hope you dont mind me asking but how much are you getting both coilovers for?

 

Omni $650 shipped and Tein Basic will run me at $675 ordering after I go to the bank. Pay day today . I will post up a thread with pictures as soon as I get them, but they won't be installed until my wheels get here too, which should be in a week after.

 

what wheels are u getting?

 

wow nice, u have same mind as mine, ^^, but i know rims gonna take longer time so i ordered my rims and then the suspension. I also wanna tell u my opion, i took Tein Basic becauz they give me good price and some of my friends bought it and says its pretty good. And as i tested it, yeah, its really soft and good for daily driving. But as some1 said, its not gonna low ur car more than 2.2" (i droped my car 2").
