I am planning to buy one set of coilover for my S2000, but I am not sure which one I should buy. TEIN, BUDDY CLUB, ZEAL or......please give me some suggestion! THX!

I heard alots of great stuff about buddy club (they use bigger pistons then other companys). I was trying to get a set of BC for my S but it's really hard to get them. Nobody have them in stock and it's always back order. After all I decided to go with Tein RA since they have a manufacture in USA as well.

How about TEIN? Did you install it yet?
I don't want to use TEIN. Because I have NA and HA in my integra TYPE R before, and I don't really like it. But I didn't try RA before. So can you give me so advise about RA THX!
I haven't purchase the Tein RA yet.......I will be making my final decision by next month. If you could a hold of a set of BC then do it!! That's my only problem now.

I think the one with purple body and 20 something adjustable is the best one in BC.
Did you guys know any good about JIC? They are pretty good in Japan too.

I'm considering either Tien or JIC. I'd like to know more about the JIC's though.

I have the JIC on my WRX. They are awesome on the track and have good build quality and features. The only problem is low impact damping is kind of off. If you have them adjusted too soft you tend to get a bouncing effect. They are not very harsh however so I don't mind. They are a racing suspension, so don't buy thinking they will ride better than stock. I would be interested to see how they are on the s2k. I would buy another set given the choice.

I heard that they're not going to come out with JIC for S2000.
