I'd take these "roll is gone/car feels tucked in and more neutral/the ride is less bouncy" coilover reviews with a grain of salt.

See how much (but more like how little) the racing and competition guys have to say about the $1500-$2000 coilovers; perhaps a testament to how good the stock setup really is and how much more real $$$$ it takes to "enhance" it.

I went with PSS kit because it has slightly softer rear spring than stock rear and provides excellent ride quaility while gives height adjustability without much of handling scrifice for great price($800 shipped).
I do lota autocross and actually PSS kit helped me getting better time.
I dont know about high-speed track but at least it helped me getting better time in autoX so I'm very satisfied owner.

4IGS2000's statement maybe right for GTI but PSS kit for S2000 hold very excellent value/performance at $800 which set's price range into springs and shock combo.

Guess we'll have to add the Koni double adjustables with 400 lbs/in F&R for $ 2950.

Anyone want to add the weights of the coilover to the list? Stock shock/springs, I believe are ~10lbs ea.
