Is the S not worth the few extra $$$ to buy quality parts?

Ok i exaggerated a little bit but the S2 is not "gold filled" or "electroplated" 
as to price point, megan track and form function type 2 are a little over $800
I posted a link for a set of fortune auto 510 series for under a grand and there new, that would be around $150 price difference

In that case, I would recommend them as well, because of the high reviews they have gotten.
Some well-used AP1s are selling for less than $10k. I imagine some people wouldn't be willing to or would be unable to spend 1/10th of the car's value on suspension.
All in all, just trying to keep in perspective the budget implied by the products asked about in the OP. Like I mentioned before, not that long ago, it seemed like so many people were recommending KW coilovers in threads in threads asking about coilovers that cost 1/2 the price.

I agree...the fortunes are more money, and youre right that they are in that range new...used is a diff story and idt relative to the discussion.
"people were recommending KW coilovers in threads in threads asking about coilovers that cost 1/2 the price. "
There is a reason for that, and it has to do with how good the stock suspension is.

Fortune auto 500 series is around $1150 new, they just released version 4 so some places are closing out the version 3 so the link I posted is a sale on new v3 510 series which originally sold for $1499. the megan track series are $800 and the function type 2's are a little bit more than that, IMO if your gonna spend that change you might as well scratch a little bit more together and get a far superior product.
As for AP1's selling for 10k and under, many of us know that value will begin to rise on these cars in the coming years. They are becoming harder to find.
On a side note, we are debating this for the OP who has not posted in this thread in like a week lol
