My plans for the car are just street driving with the occasional autocross. Yeah I've heard good stuff about Function and Form also. I put them and the D2's at the top of the list as I've heard nothing but good stuff about both. Just a hard time deciding.

You've probably heard all the good from honda-tech members who wanted a good deal and haven't had the suspension long enough to uncover any issues.

Of the ones you've listed the Skunk2s are the only ones I'd consider. Koni Yellows and Ground Controls are a better bet than any of those.

I agree with dave on this one. Go with Koni Yellows and Ground Control coilovers, it will make for a much better set up than anything you've listed.

Exactly. Some people love them and some don't.

IMO a mild suspension setup like groundcontrols and Koni yellows matched with new suspension bushings and a good tire setup and the car will handle.

Your tires are the only things that touch the ground, so pick a quality tire.
