I'm rolling on 350 dollar mdu coil overs it's been almost a year now no problems... Not sure on the rsx coil over but the design o the s2000 it's just a strut and spring/ Lower control arm and body it's the only way it'll fail is if the entire suspension setup will break in half I gotta research what rsx coil over haha I'm not even sure wth broke!

Edit:: I jus looked up the DIY for rsx coilover and the s2000 definetly does not have that part that will break like that

If you don't care about performance get the cheapest one and hope they last. Most/all the cheapo sub $1000 coilovers are garbage in terms of performance. They will lower the car but that's about the extent of the performance you'll get from them.

Very true! ^ if You want cheap adjustable coil overs might as well get as cheap and "garbage" as it gets if your going to start to pay 1000 might as well save that little extra and get quality but to my understanding your looking at 500 dollar coilovers and so i can speak personally of them but I do know that I've gotten much lower quality and they've lasted me just fine the "performance" that I get from it while driving to work and home is more than enough for me

Trust me when I say this, spend about $1k and buy the BC racing BR type coilovers! They even come with pillow ball mounts installed! I have ran them at the track and everything and after a year they are still working perfect! Kamispeed can get you a great deal on them. They made an amazing difference on my car. I am running 12k front 10k rear springs. You WON'T regret buying these and they get plenty low enough as well. By BC I don't mean buddy club. But actual BC racing. Just google it
