Default Coilover Help

Hey everyone, i am new to the s2000/honda scene and new on this site, been lurkin around for a little, just picked up a suzuka blue s2000. I am looking for coils to put on and people i have talked to said to go with the buddy club n+ ones. I wanna slam this thing, roads arent to bad around here and it sits in a garage most of the time. But i heard with the buddy clubs, to really "slam" it you have to do something with preload? not sure what that means if someone could inform me? is it a hard task? also are there any other coils out there that i will be able to go really low with? like low as in 1/4-1/2" off the ground? and im not to worried about ride quality, and if there is something cheaper out there as i just spend about $3,000 on wheels so im kind of strapped, but have about $900 for coils. Thanks

DO NOT BUY MEGAN COILOVERS!!! save your money and get a good quality coilover...those megans are best left in a trash can

I would strongly recommend taking some wheel money and spending it on better coils. But, if you want stance then the handling is going to go to sh!t anyway so I a, probably wasting my breath

heard ez streets are crap. talked to a few megan street and track owners saying they were pretty happy with their investment. obviously you're not trying to aim for better handling, so getting cheaper coils will suit you fine
