No point on spending 2k + if your not on the track. For just street, might I bring up the idea of PSS9's?

Or a set of KW V2 will easy handle both Street/Track days

I would say stay stock, unless you have to make the car lower, then maybe KWv2 or PSS(9)

Whatever is cheapest. It makes no difference on the street and there is not a competitive class in autocross for an S2000 on coilovers.

You also won't need anything for your first few track days. In fact, you don't really need anything for any track day if you're not going for time.

Just stay stock. It is by far the cheapest
