I haven't heard much discontent with Skunk2 and it sounds like it is in your range.
What I can vouche for is:
Ground control + whatever shocks/struts you want. I'm using Tokico HP(or blues) and they seem fine. $300 for the coils and roughly $300 for the shocks/struts.

Re: 99 Si Coilovers?
This is just a theory of mine but the coilovers for the 92-00 civic are the same with the exception of some shims you need to use on the 96-00. With the Si being pretty much the heaviest of all 92-00 civics I think that helps with the ride a little bit. I have heard some people complain about the ride on hatches... The ride is a little bit stiff and you will feel potholes a bit more but it is nothing like having cheap slip on coilovers. It is certainly something you could live with everyday.
I have my car lowered about 1.5". The more you lower it the rougher the ride will be...
