Default 2 suspension setups to choose from

There are 2 used spring/shock setups I'm looking to buy for my eg hatch.

I'm looking for an improvement over stock for ocassional autocross, but still want a decent ride on the street since it's my daily driver. Don't want to go to much lower then 1.5"

The 2 setups are:
- Koni coilover setup, koni yellow shocks with koni springs. It's an older coilover setup, not like the one they are currently offering on their website

-JDM KYB "New SR Special" Shocks
JDM RSR Ti2000 Race Spring (Titanium)

Which one do you think would be the better choice?

Thanks

They're about a year old, used only 4-5 months

I think I'd roll with the Konis because you can revalve them.

I'd go w/ the konis if they're reasonably priced. handle great and good ride quality even when slammed. they tend to be pretty $$$ though.

The coilovers that I thought were koni's actually say Bilsteins on them. Are Konis and Bilsteins pretty much the same?
