I would have agreed totally on the dampening non adjustment as being a down fall. But I then realized I have never changed my Tein RAs. When I asked omni power about possibly an adjustment on them they said "To add adjustment correctly we would have to offer two or three sets of different springs each with a different spring rate." It makes sense when you think about it, the main reason their are adjustments on shocks is to make 1 shock work on a variety of spring rates, or to make a car ride better when off track.

Can you put camber plates on the front pillow ball mounts, or do they come with camber plates?

I just did some research on these and I will be ordering a set on Monday. I wish someone on here could post a review. Im really wondering how these ride. Ive heard great reviews from the honda world on these but havent read anything on them for EVOs. If im the first one then I guess thats what its gonna take.

These spring rates seem a little harsh. Can anyone pot up here how these are gonna ride.

Well guys I just might be the first ones to experiment with these on this board. I just paid my buddy for them and he has to send a money order out to his dealer and then I will get them. They will be installed in about 2.5 weeks. I will post up a detailed review on them and let everyone know how they feel on the street. Oh yeah I ordered the street ones, they have street and sport.

I thought I replyed to this but I didn't sorry for not getting back to everyone.

Sport and Street
Sport has 2k stiffer springs than the street and the valving is adjusted to meet the increase.

Drag Racing setup
I am sure they could come up with some thing out there I will ask them next week at sema.

Camber plates
Don't have a deffinate yes or no on this everyone seams to lean towards the fact that other caster camber plates will work with there pillow ball mount but the EVO king at Omni power was out of the office so I couldn't ask him. I will get a deffiante answer on this as well.

Slightly off topic, but do you need camber plates if you want to retain the stock alighnment specs? i'm looking at these as an alternative to getting springs on stock dampers.
If i lower my front 1.5 inches, do i need camber plates or will these be ok?

Omni's do not come with a caster camber plate but will work with other brands.

As far as lowering the car 1.5 in the front You will be fine at that level with out any camber adjustments.


Sorry for the late reply on that I was out of the office all last week.
