Re: What Coilover should I get??
FYI, out of all of those the last I would buy is Tein. It's just as shitty as the rest of them but probably the most expensive.
I had ok experience with K-Sports on an S2000, but got rid of them for Koni/Ground Controls. I've seen the K-Sports blow out around 15,000 miles on a lowered Civic. I never had any problems with them though on the S ( the spring rates were far stiffer).
Every low end Tein product I have experienced was absolute shit as far as performance goes (sagging springs, blown piston). I have heard that once you step up to a higher end model, they are good stuff.
D2..... LOL
Omni is ok from what I have heard, but I have no experience with them.
None of these listed are a high quality product.

Re: What Coilover should I get??
What are you looking to do?
Do you just want looks, performance, comfort, ect.?
I've had quite a few suspension setups and have been in plenty of different cars with many different setups so I can give you a pretty good idea of what to look into.

Re: What Coilover should I get??
Look into the Bilstein Pss9's or a Koni Yellow/Ground Control Setup
If you aren't looking for adjustible ride hieght, go with Koni Yellows and whatever lowering spring ( Eibach, H&R, ect.)
My idea of performance and your idea are probably totally different. I've always had very stiff rates which are not the most comfortable thing on a street car
As far as suspension goes, stick to the germans for the best all around. H&R, Koni, Bilstein all make great products.
When I build another S2k, I'm going with Koni Yellows and a custom set of full coil springs on a threaded perch.
I don't like how short most coil over springs are.
