Skunk2 full setup for $455? Koni+GC are good. Rode in my friend's car with them and they are pretty smooth.

i like my setup, (see sig) but it still has too much body roll. my chassis needs to get stiffer too.

I have omni power full coilovers now for bout 3 year and have loved them everyday i have had them. Awsome quality, ride isnt bad for a lowered vehicle, and they are great for handling as well.

Price some out and do a bit of research, it kinda depends on what you are shoting for, auto cross, daily driver, drag. But do a bit of research and it will help you alot.

I have a set of TEIN Flex in my 98 DX. Great for daily and real good on the track.
If your going to do a suspension I would sujest looking at the whole package.

Coilovers, springs, front and rear strut bars, Lower tie bars, sway bars.

I started a full suspension change on my project and everytime I changed something I could see and feel how much it made a change in how the car handled.
