I went with Nitron as they are UK based and will tailor springs and valves to your requirements

I may eventually go the Nitron route for precisely those reasons.

There's a good reason Jags & Loti ride/handle so well on UK's cart tracks.

Ride quality on the nitrons is just impeccable

Sadly they don't make em for my car otherwise I'd have bought a set already, considering the KWs though seeing as the OEM ride is shocking.

I had Ohlins 2 way on the Exige. Simply amazing.

If the Tein hadn't come up cheap for the S, I would have been going for another set of them.

Alas they aren't cheap.

Until you know how to adjust them and why, you may find they are worse than oem.
Especially on track.

All require a good dose of learning and testing time.

I have an Ohlin 3 way set with ext reservoirs on my scoob. Horrendously hard up to legal speeds and just amazing above. Their ability to track the rubbish road surfaces round here is phenomenal. It's just the £2k per corner that is a bit upsetting.

The Ohlins DFV for the S2000 does not have external reservoirs, so unfortunately like many of these things can not be compared to a Subaru with Ohlins fitted. The OP better check with Rambo1 as I don't believe anyone else to my knowleage is using them in the UK on an S2000.
