I had the Koni Yellow's on some of my Euro cars, I liked them.
Their warranty and rebuild service isn't great though. Was a lot cheaper to buy a new one when they blew up.
If I was in the market for a budget coilover, I'd consider the Tein Flex Z
TEIN.com: FLEX Z - PRODUCTS
You can get them for about ~$700
Pretty much hahahaha

And Yonaka is a reputable big brand? Yonaka to me is same level as OBX junk. Around 11-12 years ago in high school, I had an Integra LS, and with high school budget, I needed motor mounts, and saw Yonaka had a full set of replacements for under $100. (Unheard of at time) So i bit the bullet, and got them. Welds were shit, holes were off, had to send them back for replacements set. Second set comes in, still off, but just enough to run them anyways. Fast forward 4-5 years later, I saved enough money to buy an Integra Type R. I only wanted the best parts, but almost all exhausts were either fart cannons or hard to find in US. Looked at Yonaka because it seemed like how the **** could they **** up an exhaust? I wanted a clean looking oem looking exhaust. Despite what happened first time, I ordered it anyways.
It comes in, welds look like shit again, fitment was horrible, and sounded like ass. Ran it for couple months then sold it for $20 on craigslist. Bought a Spoon N1 and didnt ever look back. For the S2000, essentially everything under $1000 is junk. The only exceptions are OEM shocks (excluding CR since those fetch over $1000) and Konis. I have Koni Yellows and ground controls, and feel they are the only aftermarket setup for less than $1000 brand new that isnt shit. Everything else is either pumped out of a Taiwanese factory with no quality control, and mystery dampening for the shocks that feel worse than stock.

As for mounts I spent good money on a set of Hasport for my Jseries Integra and the transmission mount was built backwards! Goes to show that money doesn't always mean quality.

We are pleased to hear that you listened to sound advice, with good result. We expect the urge to 'upgrade' was strong. Not easy to bolt on old, ugly looking parts, instead of shiny new ones. Even though you know the eBay stuff is crap, the temptation is somehow still there. Good you resisted.
