hahaha. the infamous question of the coilovers. The Omnipowers $750 are competing against Tein SS $1000+. The basic dampers are a step below the Omnis. I would say the omnis are more of a value since they're priced lower than the basics, but w/ more of the features of the Tein SS, which is a step higher than the basic. And the Omnis have a high spring rate. Fr:10kg Rr: 8kg.
Stiff-Stuff. They're a good ride, smooth, and leveled thru every bump(including speed bumps), which is good if you have a lip kit or body kit. I got the Omnis for $650 and $90 2nd day air to Hawaii, because I mentioned Group Buy Center, so that's pretty cheap.

I'll agree with birdman on what he said.

so theyre really smooth too? i thought u said they were very stiff. i want a stiff ride, but i the ride to comfortable too. from what ur sayin Bird, they have the best of both worlds.

lol. Yep. they are smooth. Maybe really stiff on the first test-drive, but after a couple days, you start to really feel the smoothness. Its definitely best of both worlds. I would say you can't really compare it to the Basic damper. They are differently designed.
