From your list, I've at least heard of D2, and I've got experience with K-Sport on two different cars. K-Sport makes a quality product.

D2s are great, as long as you get a good spring rate, and not something too stiff, im using them on my integra, and weve also got them on the our CRX. Im staying away from Blackworks products, ive already seen two reviews with pictures of their products being sub par.

i had funtion form type2's and they were amazing, not sure of the difference between the type 1 that your looking at and the type 2, but they were dual tube shocks and SUPER comfy, it was like airbags at the soft setting and i only went like 25 clicks up on damper and it was like on rails, the spring rates were perfect imo plus with them you can pretty much lay frame if you feel like it. i had them on my rsx and will definately buy them again eventually.
hope that helped at all lol

D2 and K-sport are manufactured in the same factory. they are both quality and have a good warranty. I usually sell K-sport over D2 just because their customer service is easier to deal with. but apples to apples they are nearly identical. Same thing with most of your budget coil-overs.

+1 on the K-sports.....customers have had me install them...and they were pleased with the handling results.-Bob

Whatever you get, would you wait about 6 months and tell us what you found out about your particular car, as to what it did to/for the handling?
Thanks.
