NFR-S2k-

Hey guys, i'm looking at coilovers because i'm not a fan of how the car handles stock and it needs more low. I'm not looking to slam my car by any means, I just want it 1-1.5 inches lower to eliminate the wheel gap but I want a suspension that will handle well and give a nice enough ride. My previous s2k had tein flex coilovers with 10k springs and I hated that the ride was either super stiff or super bouncy, but i LOVED the way it handled and they got rid of any hint of body roll. I may autox my car at some point but it likely wont see any track time, although one of the docs I shadow has been trying to get me to hit the track with him but I don't want to worry about prepping for the track so it probably wont happen. I pretty much have it narrowed down to 3 choices in the $1200 range. I can get a set of hks hipermax gt iv's would be brand new which would be nice, vs the other two i'd have to rebuild. The bilstein pss9's and koni's are blown and would have to be rebuilt but the bilsteins have 10k/9k swift springs and I would have them revalved to match the springs. With the koni yellow/ground control coilovers I have the option of eibach 9.5k/8k springs or swift 10k/9k springs with helper springs and I would have them revalved for the correct springs as well. I'd like to stay as cheap as possible since I still have school to pay for so money is a factor haha. So my question is: What would be the best suspension for a mostly street driven car while still meeting my ride/ handling goals?
Rough prices:
Pss9's: $250 for blown suspension plus $225/ shock for rebuild and revalve and then shipping costs= ~1200-1300
Koni's: $400 for blown suspension with eibach's or $500-700 with swifts plus $175/ shock for rebuild and revalve plus shipping costs= $1100-$1300
HKS's: $1200 brand new with 8k/7k springs

Thanks in advance for the imput guys!

if you are looking at the $1200 range, why not consider brand new Koni yellows and swift spec r springs? Brand new, will cost around $900. and is a proven setup. Will give a modest drop without ruining the handling of the s2000. I'm currently on Koni yellows and ground control coils with custom 550lb front and rear springs (still through Eibach). and I like how it feels, but currently looking for Some Swift Spec R's so i can switch to stiffer spring in front and softer in rear like OEM CR setup. Having rode a in bunch of locals s2000's that track, suspension choice is very critical with these cars. Even if not choosing for track use, even daily driving use is pretty critical I say. And I drive mine approcmately 120 miles round trip everyday. (550lb springs kinda suck for DD use). If you dont plan on really tracking it, I think Koni Yellows and swift springs would be a good compromise of comfort (relatively) and capability of some track use.

Fortune 500? Though I don't see many people running these without the swift spring upgrade

I'd go for the HKS. The Hipermax 3 had great reviews, there are two versions of the 4, the GT is the street one.
