Default HSD, D2 or another coilovers?

Hi to everyone, i`m from Bulgaria. I`m glad to be a part of this forum.
Now i`m looking for suspension for a `97 g6 Civic.
I`ve read a lot for the coilovers. First i`ve choose d2 rs coilovers, but now i`m not sure, that i want to spend my money for them. I think that D2 are quality racing parts but may be not. I`ve read a lot of complaints about them.
Now i found something new in driftworks - HSD, absolutely unknown brand for me. The prices are almost the same as for D2.
Can you give me advice what to choose, the car will be mostly for street, but i would like to have adjustable in height and hardness coilovers.

Thanks!

Here in BG, Koni has a very bad name, a lot of blew dampers. I`m agree that Koni is the best choice, but not from Bg. Can you give me please a good online shop from where i can buy quality Koni. Thank`s!

Where is BG? And what Konis are you talking about specifically? They have a lifetime warranty.

Bg is Bulgaria, the eastern country of Europe.

I want to take the top, the best, the high level coilovers, that`s why i `m asking so stupid questions, hah. I`ll be grateful!

I just saw their site, yes i found what i`m looking for. But this is a unknown brand for me. Do you have any direct opinion about them. Is the lifetime warranty real ?!

no they just put in on there for fun. if it blows your screwed.
AMR is one of the best.
if you have the 1300 plus shipping to drop on them do it. you'll be happy.

quick question though how is it only in bulgaria that theres a ton of blown koni's? or is this just word of mouth with no actual witnessing of it?

No my friend, it`s not. I can give you a lot of examples about blown Koni, doesn`t matter if they are mounted on street or 'race' cars. With Bilstein is almost the same. I`m sure that there are some levels of quality and here we receive the lowest.
Can somebody help me about order the AMR?
