Your question is too vague. You'll have people with $800 coilovers claiming they're the best and highest value coilovers that provide amazing "dampening" compared to stock...all while slamming the car to the ground. The other extreme would be someone with 4-way adjustable high-end monotube dampers that are going to set you back $7k+.

So, you need to define the following:

Application: pure track, pure auto-x, mix track/auto-x, mix of competition & daily driving, etc.

Your driving experience: none, "spirited" mountain driving, some HPDEs or regional auto-x, national auto-x, time trial events, W2W, etc.

Your budget: we all have one.

I made the mistake of buying function and form coils and now they are for sale. Save your money and do some research you' ll find what fits your needs. S2000's handle great stock do not cut corners on the suspension. I've heard great things about Bilstein and KW but theres many more... Hope this helps
