well what I see with all the new cheap coilovers (omni, these, d2, ect) all come with EXTREMLY stiff springs. This is exactly like the really cheap POS ebay sleve coilvoers like Dropzones, apc's and Skunk2. Sometimes companys us extremely stiff springs to hide other things. This could be to hide the quality of the spring itself, the reaction rates on the dampers, ect. A set of Motons, Tein N1's, JIC, ZEAL, ect have extremly agressive dampers to match the spring rates. I would like to see these coilovers on a shock dyno before I would say that these are good alternatives to more expensive setups.
