so I just checked out the function7's and they are definately the way to go in my opinion. they maintain the factory mounting point for the swaybar and they use Energy suspension bushings and all the metal on them is fully corrosion treated high quality Al (7051 I think the site said)
the company itself is selling them on ebay for $210 shipped so that is 100 more than the omni's but if you ever needed to replace a bushing ever you could just order some up for ES
anyway, i guess I just need to find out if I can swing the 210 instead of 110

I am currently using the Omni Coilovers and i got a good deal also, as i got the fr/r camber kits as an package deal for far less than you would for most basic Coilovers. They work very well and are pretty stiff just the way i like them. But be warned this kit is a short stroke kit, and its intened for use on 15" rims so If you have 18" rims like I have you will run into issues such as the rear tire sidewall rubbing on the fender. The cure for that is to use SPC Performance kit 60065 to cure that tire rubbing alignment issues

I guess I don't know exactly what you're talking about with the "short stroke" all I'm interested in is the rear LCA's. are you saying that the rear lca's are shorter than stock arms?

He wasn't talking about the LCAs.... the "short stroke" coilovers basically make the shock body shorter for lowered applications. You get more suspension travel because you have a shock body and shaft that match each other better, rather than a really long shock body and short shaft (like when you lower on stock shocks)- but the drawback is that you can't keep the car at the stock height (shocks not long enough). It's got nothing to do with the LCAs.
