Default Coilover Advice

I'm pretty new to the Honda scene and I haven't really learned much about suspension, and I'm about to get some coilovers, my concern is that i'll pay 700+ for some coilovers, but not actually like them. I've been looking into three main coilovers in my price range

skunk 2 pro-s coilovers are my cheapest option
http://www.skunk2.com/suspension-2.php?code=COVS

then i was considering k-sport kontrol pros
http://www.ksportusa.com/asp/coilove...roduct_id=cd01

and also was looking at the d2 RS

I'm looking to get a smooth ride without alot of bounce, but also not too stiff, i understand it won't be perfect though, basically are the d2's worth it, or should i save some money?

any advice helps so thanks

I've been riding on my Koni Yellow + Ground Control setup for about a year now and love them. My rates are 290/350Lbs, but you can choose whichever you like. I kind of wish I got a lower rate as I don't do any auto-x or anything like that.
