Default Tein Flex or Skunk2 Pro-C

For my 3doors '93 civic...whats the best coilover for daily drive? BUT I want something really stiff to do lapping sessions with this car. I got Tein HR on my last civic and I loved them. Let me know what you think please.
Thanks

Tein Flex are really nice. I have already hear about the skunk2 Pro-C's being too "bouncy" and they are new. Tein Flex FTW!

Stiff suspension doesn't always mean better lap times... Its a combo of all things. As for Tein Flex, i currently have them on my track/dd. There stiff for daily driving, but i dont think there enough for the track. My rates are 9k front 4k rear on a eg hatch, they are a bit too soft in the rear, and my rear end isn't rotating enough through some turns.

Its not that skunk 2 is a bad company... they have great engine parts. Its just that they havnt been in the suspension game as long as the og tein.

i trust both setups, there is review here on HT, the member said the sk2 pro-c's were better than his old FF2's and buddy clubs. I'm not sure about the comparison with the sk2 and tein's. IMO, i like the sk2's setup, i was never a fan of tein. Its not that tein's dont perform well both off/on track, i just prefer the pro-c's.
