Default sleeve or full coilovers?

I just picked up a new project 94 Civic hatch with the main purpose of auto-x. My question is...

Should i go with something like a Ground Control / Koni Yellow setup or a full coilover setup like Tein Flex? Which one will suit my needs the best (auto-x every weekend and daily driver)

Any help or recommendations would be very helpful. Thanks H-T

Honestly, I am not up to date on the auto-x rules but....

In roadracing, you often aren't allowed to use full coilovers. That is why the sleeve set up is so popular. In other words, check the rules first. It might not even be an option to run full coilovers.

You are allowed to run coilovers in any class but Stock IIRC. As for road racing, SCCA is going to allow coilovers for IT next season.
