Companies I would by suspension pasts from, Koni, Penske, Moton, thats it. Tein and JIC make quality products but they are overpriced for what they give you. Omni is a new company on the block in thier short life they have had 2 reacalls on 2 differnt parts, not exactaully a good record to start off your company. There stuff is made in Taiwan, where several others D2, Ksport, are also made, and I would also stay far far a way from thoose brands, since it seems the manufacturing plants they are using do not have good quality control, or good manufacturing process's.

They have been "Voluntary" recalls up to this point. Yes, they were more or less necessary, but it did not take the law to force them to recall like many companies now.
One can learn a lot from one's mistakes and this young company sounds like it's doing just that. As long as they keep this up, and replace any product they sell when recalls come, I don't see what's wrong with them. In 10 years, they might be an awesome company to go with, having learned from past mistakes.

So I jack up the front take a look and everything looks ok, I do this a few times over a period of 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem is, after all this i had some Friends take a look as well. The end result was we could not see anything wrong with my front end. We had dismissed anything to do with the upper end because of the fact i had replaced the upper end components which included a set of Omni Camber arms. Well today after the noise got worse i decided to take another look, but this time i looked at the upper end, this is what I found.
The bushings that go through the camber arm itself had torn away. So for the last couple of weeks this is what i have been riding on, thank god it didn't come apart completely! In one of the pics u can see i can put a screw driver in between the bushing and the camber arm itself.
Ok now, I don't want to start a panic or anything like that, I went with Omni cause of Steve Omni man's name, but at this point with the coil overs, the clutch master cylinders and now my camber arms failing, I have to say, if ur running Omni anything take a look at it and make sure its not falling apart on you!


Looks like they have a problem with the upper control arm bushings... whoops!!!

OmniPower... we will get it right eventually with our Taiwanese junk.
