    I ask, why not just use the OME shocks (kit if you will)? Is there a reason I'm not seeing? I plan doing the full OME kit with 885s but only a couple people have used them on the 16s, the majority are using 885s & 887s and putting them on the 5100s instead of OME struts.

    perhaps people prefer the 5100's dampening over the OME's

    I got 5100s because they're height adjustable. Not sure about OMEs although I got them on my rears.

    There's tons of threads that people say why they went with one over the other. Just search around
