If you're looking for a good ride, get the Spoon dampers. They are firm but not stiff.

right i have the buddyclub RS now on the softest setting and its pretty near standard "comfy" level.

In this soft setting, It was def more comfy than my previous hks springs/stock shocks combo...i think my gf is impressed hehe

The BC has a reputation for being very tough coilovers with a stuff ride to match... i guess this should apply to when u wind up the suspension tight...cause right now, its very streetable indeed...

going buddy club myself, and i'm not sure on the status, but there was a small GB going on them in the GB forum for $1350 plus shipping. i jumped all over it.

mine is also a daily driver, and my biggest purpose for getting them was to lower the car, keep good ride comfort, and try to avoid any rubbing.

edfc = electronic dampening force controller

it allows you to adjust the dampening on your coilovers from inside the car with the push of a button. also doubles the amount of positions you can adjust.

99% of the people don't need the edfc. It's just a fancy gadget for the rich.

Ask any coilover owners how many times a year they adjust their dampers. I only do it if I go to the track, and not many people will need to be able to adjust the dampers on the fly nor can they utilize the half-settings the edfc offers.

Tein Flex and EDFC will be available for s2000 soon. It's coming out in March. Right now the TEIN Flex is outselling any other coilovers in 350z, supra, RX7 market by far. I don't feel the need to go into a comparison and argument of which coilover are the best. We carry quite a few. But I do know one thing. There's a reason why they are so popular, in Japan and here in the states.

www.tein.com

And read up about Tein Flex. Options and capabilities.

We also had great experience dealing with the JIC FLTA2.

The 2 top names in coilover for cars in the world are Ohlin and DMS. For the S2000, there are so many out there that can outperform the stock. I think all of them are good.
It all comes down to what you like to pay and what you like to get. There is no such thing as the best
