any basic coil-over system would be fine imho...just depends on preference on brand.

You should also consider a rebuilding service and winter conditions into which ones you buy.

None of those brands. See the suspension thread for details but most brands are garbage. Tociko, Progress, Koni, Eibach, Billstein... those are the brands you should be looking out for.

You also need to determine what spring rate you want and what drop.

I'm installing Koni sport struts, Eibach pro springs and sway bars. DD/track car is my goal. Would be cool to hear a review of your D2 setup later? Are you going to track your car at all?

I have the same set up. Not bouncy or noticably rough but gets the job done around the corners

I agree with bones. I installed the Tein Flex system last spring and autocrossed all summer on them. Sharp handling no body roll and somehow there also comfortable on the street. And major adjustability < more than your really gonna use on the street though. But ive had Billsteins, tokicos, konis and Kybs on other cars in the past and those are all compleatly uncomparable to my Teins.

The best part about having the edfc controller is that u can turn the dampening all the way down when cruising...but if u see so bromosexual in a mustang looking all sorts of corny u can crank it back up in the matter of seconds and dip

Lets talk about your budget, what your going to be doing with the car, and what kind of ride height adjustment your looking for.

My personal preferences are in the $550 range: Progress
$800 range: Koni/Ground Control
$1200 range: AMR

I wouldn't recommend any of the brands you listed as they are all junk when you enter any situation outside of street driving. My personal favorite has and until something significantly better comes out always will be the Koni Yellow/Ground Control coil over combo because your spring rate choices are damn near unlimited until you get to about 600lbs on the stock valving, koni offers a lifetime warranty on their shocks to the original owner, and you get quite a bit of adjustment out of the ground control coils.

i have been in a few setups. damper kits and good shock/coilover combos felt and drove best.

tockico and springs sucked.
kyb gr2s and coilovers sucked.
koni yellows and ground controls were good.
skunk2 was ok.
tein basics and super streets were really good.
kyb agxs and ground controls are my favorite.

i based my opinion on how well it handled, how bouncy it was, and how it was affected by a full car.

My friend races his sentra ser on AGXs and Eibachs and really well balanced and extremely fast. Rock hard uncomfortable ride though. Not to say it would feel exactly the same on a teg though.
