Default Best Suspension for all-round setup

Hi

I am building a 95 Civic into a planned "all-rounder". The idea with the car is for it to be competent in Street Driving, Drags and occasional open Circuit event (track day).

I am aware that each dicipline requires a unique setup tailored to suit the use for optimal performance - however I am looking for a Suspension setup that will enable me to setup the car to be able to do all three reasonably well.

What is the best Suspension (Springs/Shocks/Coilovers) for this :

I currentky have a set of Tokico Illumina 5 way adj shocks I could use - should I get a set of Skunk2 Sleeveovers to work with these or go for Full Coilovers ??

Options :

Tokico Illumina with Skunk2 sleeveovers
Skunk2 Pro S
Skunk2 Pro C
Megan Racing
BC BR series
Tein Super Street

any other suggestions ??

Thanx in advance

I have tokico illumina's with ground control coilovers and love them! I have had this setup for like 5 years! It is a great all around setup too! I used to autox it before i got my s2k and it did awesome. I only drag race it since then though and they work pretty good for it too! I cut consistent 1.67-1.69 60fts with my old worn out 24.5x8.5x13 m&h slicks. They have more than 100 passes on them. lol They aren't bad at all on the street either... On full soft they are extremely smooth riding for coilovers.
