Koni is hands down the best shock in this price range.

never ridin in a s2000 with Buddy Club N+ but i have ridin/driven in an 04 si with them and they were pretty nice. N+ are what most likely will end up with since i will most likely use them for street with the occasional auto x maybe.

You have many choices in this price range. Buddy Club, D2, Megan, KSport, Function and Form, BC Racing, Godspeed, Bilstein, Koni's with aftermarket springs, etc. First what are you going to be doing with your car? Auto-X, track, drag, daily driver, garage queen, weekend toy, etc. From there you can narrow down your choices. The best thing to do is to go to a meet and ask someone who has the coilovers you are interested in for a drive to see how they actually perform. Everyone can say "oh xxxxx sucks because they aren't made in xxxx" or "a friend of mine has XXXX on his XXXX and they ride great" End of the day these comments don't really help you because either they haven't ridden on them or bash because of the name. Good luck.

I have BC coilovers. It's awesome for daily, 30 ways adjustable. My setting are front :13 clicks away from hard and rear: 15 clicks away rear and the car drives so much better than stock. Smoother than stock but the stiffness is still there. So you have great control over the car and it grips a lot better! This set up is not all that great for track but street use it is just awesome! This is just my input on BC, but i'm really happy with my coilovers .

single adjustable, 30 settings.

I know it seems like I'm being a dick, but this forum needs help with suspension nomenclature.
