Thumbs up Coilovers

I have always wanted the Tein Flex with EDFC, but now as I look through the forums I am finding out more and more people are hating on them and they are not very track friendly, but great street coilovers...I want aggressive coilovers and I am mainly using for autocross and some minor track time...I just would like everyones opinion on which coilovers are best with my turbo set-up and which is cost efficient...Not saying what is the cheapest and the best TRUST ME, just asking for opinions thanks in advance!

I heard from a friend that the TR1 B-Max Dampners are quite a handful on the track. These are what I will be getting in March for my 06 S2000.

Because it's the one of the few sub $2500 suspensions that actually has any engineering behind it beyond "slap the stiffest springs you can on there and call it good."

I agree KW's are the way to go. If they are out of your price range, I'd look into the Bilstein PSS9's which are good for a similar price to the Flex.
