Default Shopping for new suspension for my DC2....any suggestions on what I should go with?

So...I need some help or should I say I need some your opinions on getting a full new setup on my 99 GS-R...I keep hearing about the whole koni/GC, function/forms, D2, and progress.... I just don't know what I should go with ... What is everyone else using on your integras?.. Prices do matter, I really don't want to spend more than $900-1,000. I already have front skunk2 camber kit, and spc rear along with LCA's and lower tie bar..... What do u guys think?

You must have totally missed my thread at the beginning of the forum.

Now you can miss it in my signature, if you're so determined.

You still haven't read the suspension guide stickied at the top of the forum, or the same one which resides in my signature, have you?

Before we get too far into making your car super stiff, what other suspension modifications do you have? Sway bars?

Also, I cannot stress this enough, TIRES TIRES, TIRES!

Making a car super stiff, isn't always the best way.
