Default Coilovers

Ok, so i tried the search on coilovers, but nobody seems to stay on topic, or answers a question. people seem to stray away and talk about the stock system and lowering springs. My question is, what is a good set of coilovers for everyday use, and occasional track? I don't care to know about lowering springs or how good the stock system is. I just want to know what is a good quality set of coilovers for MY04+. I don't mind a more harsh ride. Price does not matter too much to me. I'm looking for durable and a noticable difference in performance from the stock suspension.

EDIT: I'm lookin to drop an inch, so again, comfortability's not that important to me. I'm all about fun!

Coilover Conversion kit, Honda S2000


And a set of Koni shocks. It will cost you about 800 and you will be set for some time.

There have been a number of posts about this solution. From a cost/benefit standpoint, this is the best value solution.

I have Tien Flex's on my AP1 and they are great, adjust the dampening etc correctly and have a good performance alignment done and you're in shape.

KW's Hands down some of the best stuff but they are made in germany so it might be a bit of a pain to get them serviced.

Tein's okay bet because you can get them fixed up here in the states.

That's what I did with a set of adjustable Koni yellows.

I will suggest the T1R B-max coil-overs. They have good adjustability in stiffness for street and track usuage. They are light (reducing unsprung weight) and high quality. Definitely something for you to consider.

Dayum skippy! KW's are easily one of the best street/track coilovers you can buy for this car.
