Default H&R vs. Tokico

Hello my friends, i once again turn to you for much needed advice!!ok, i want new suspsension for my 93 civic coupe, but, i have a dilema, i dont know which is best for me, i dont want to pay 700 and find out i could have gotten the basic same thing for $400 less ya knwo!
ok, first off, here are the three i am looking at
1http://www.overboost.com/obs/product.asp?pid=22785
2http://www.overboost.com/obs/product.asp?pid=770
3http://www.overboost.com/obs/product.asp?pid=761
now, i really dont want to pay the bling for the H&R unless i am going to see a big difference, i was thinking of the cheaper of the 3, the tokico performance kit...
so now to what i am looking for, which i am sure is what we are all looking for!
a nice stiff, nice riding, insanely controlable kit, i drive fast, and plan on doing a race here and there, or wherever one may pop up.. and for the last thing, i do here and there pile a few of my friends in there, now we arent big ppl, but, i dont wanna bottom out either, well, i hope these are good valid questions so i dont feel stupid!! thanks a million everyone!

I like my H&R cup kit, the best thing is they come w/ Koni adjustable shocks. I think its a good deal. Its not too low, I've only hit the front bumper once backing outta a really steep driveway.

I would take Koni shocks over Tokicos any day. You will not regret it. Just spend the money once and do it right.

the h&r kit uses koni shocks and springs the koni that come with the h&r kit have the valve matched to the spring rate of the h&r spring. its also alittle cheeper then gettin the koni shocks and h&r spings seprate.
