i checked out omni and it seems to not have any dampner settings. anyway i personally think skunk2 products are garbage thier coilover used eibach springs which was the only good thing about them.

i agree about the settings. unless you have a full track car its not really nessicary. ive just had a bad experiance with skunk 2 so im going to stay away from their affiliates too. i need to see some good gains in performance cornering ect... most ppl that buy ther suspension is just because its cheap and they get a full coilover.

ive been looking into coilovers for a while. i originally wanted tein basics but i havent heared to many good things about them. then i saw these and the omni coils. my cars a daily driver, very rarely brought to the track or autocrossed, so i need a coilover kit thats cheap and will last. would the people who have the MR coilovers suggest these or should i go with omni's coilovers, or tein basic.

The Omni is not adjustable, does not come with pillowball mounts, not even the front. Only stock camber adjustment.
If the Megan's pricing is similar to the Omni's, I would go for the Megan Racing coilovers. If the springrates are going to be abit higher then stock, then there is no real reason to exclude rigid mounts (pillowball). And the camber-adjustability / damper adjustability does not hurt at all, for the same price.
If you do go for the Megan brand, do yourself a favor and grease up the pillowballs liberally, a lot of people do not realize how "dry" some of the pillowballs come, and they may sieze up or wear quickly, causing "clunks" that can't be fixed unless you buy new pillowballs.

No clunking, or strange noises either.
I also have a MR exhaust and the quality on it is very high as well.
If anyone has any questions I can give more detalied answers
