I assume you own a 93 FD am I correct? In that case if your car is a daily driver, I would go for the TEIN HA coilovers. They are not wildly stiff like most other coilovers are, handle great, and are relatively inexpensive when you compare them to other coilovers like JIC, apex'i, hks, etc... They are the best bang for the buck coils in my opinion. I have a friend who is running them in his 93 r1 in SCCA autocross, in the SF region he is currently holding the #1 spot for street class

sorry, it could be street mod, or whatever...i'm not so good with the rule book or categorizing classes or whatnot but I do have a friend who is keeping 1st place in his class right now using the TEIN HA's in auto-x in the SF Region SCCA pro solo

I'd suggest researching into the geometries of the suspension as well as it's internals. At that point you can determine for yourself whether you want to start with an entry level coilover or spend a couple hundred bucks more to acquire a fully adjustable monotube coilover as opposed to a twin tube coilover without independent ride height and preload characteristics therefore resulting in the use of helper/tender springs.
It just comes down to what you can afford and if it's worth it to you to spend a few extra dollars to acquire a shitload more out of your suspension.
No matter what the Tein HA is the cheapest and best entry level coilover at this point.
For your next step up you'd want to go with something similar to the JIC FLT-A2. There's several other monotube coilovers but they are not revalved for the US streets and you'd find them to be quite uncomfortable.
