The OME's too short for me, and im looking for a shock I can adjust the pressure on and adjust the valving if I decide to. There's quite a few standard mono-tube shocks that'll work well and that are within the OME price range, but I've got to the point with my XK where there's not much left to adjust.... so im going to focus on optimizing performance where I can; rear shocks is next up (within reason of course, I'm not looking at some $400/ea shocks). Hopefully in the mean-time more front strut options will become available.
Edit: my spreadsheet includes the OME p/n as well as some monotube options such as bilstein 5150 and Rancho RS7000 which area all higher end "budget" shocks like the OME.
