i like trolling ebay and yahoo.jp for used JDM suspensions.... used USUALLY works jus as good as new although some of them are beat. and tracked... but its usually easy to tell and i like taking chances. who knows you might get some zero-1s for a deal like i did.
or something even more fun.
all my friends drive around on megans omnis skunk2 pro series tein flex and jic flta1 and 2. they all ride very very nice the skunks are a lil bouncy though... if i were to buy some new coils for the under 1k pricepoint though id get some f2s!!!!!!!!!! functionform!

Out of those suspensions you mentioned, there's one that's extremely out of place...

and out of those, I'd choose none.

I'd got Koni/GC if I were you. Best by far for the money

if you are looking to spend under a grand I would go with function type II's with the swift springs.

My fav expensive coilover would have to be anything from Zeal, a company that actually r&d's its suspension for fwd applications. Sad truth is, is that our beloved 15 year old hondas get the **** end of design and testing from many companys.
