it think you can break down the question in couple of ways

1)how much you have?

2)what kinda of setup you wish to buy?(drag, autox, dailydriver, track, etc)

Yes, and you'd also have to consider what kind of ride you're looking for.

Reasonably comfortable type (Momma's Buick type)
Reasonably competent type (A little Skittish around corners)
Competent type (hey, this is a hoot! type)
Baby Buggy type ("Gee honey, I never thought it would induce labor" type)
or the all time favorite:
The No Suspension type (launches the passengers off their seats at the slightest bump)

tanabe sustec coilovers are pretty nice. they are pretty stiff but it isnt bad with bumping. plus its adjustable..height anyway.. so if you scrape or anything you can reset it. oh and just remembered. my friend has a civic with the skunk coilovers. they split. right down the threading its cracked in half. i dont know if thats a common occurance for skunks but id definitely try to figure that out. well good luck.
