I have TEIN FLEX and i LOVE them, the adjustable shock length feature is nice.

I would say Bilstein PSS9/KW variant 3/Tein FLEX/Buddy Club RSD.

Stay away from that chinese garbage man, it's hit or miss.

You will find that once you have found a nice setting, you wont be using the EDFC but once in a blue moon. At least in the S2000 anyway. Makes allot more sense in 4 door and other, more passenger friendly cars.

thats what i was thinking i will save the time and money for some other upgrade. it seems like you can piece together a nice combo for around the same price maybe a bit cheaper with a nice coilover and then a good strut. is it better to get the full set up, or mix and match a good coilover kit w/propper spring rates etc with a good dampener?

Now you thinking! Ground control coilover's and koni yellows are one of the best, reasonable priced suspension setups you can get.

i like the features of the n+ but the suspension forum has some other things to say regarding the abillity to dampen at certain spring rate combos i guess all things considered its way better than stock wich i dont mind for now im just getting ready to get some different wheels and tires and need the adjustabillity to go lower

best bang for the buck, BuddyClub N+Specs.

IMHO though, I love my buddyblub RSD's. If you can cough up a few more hundred, please get the the RSD's. You will not regret it.

It is said to be that the Apexi ExV, Megans, D2, Function Form, etc are the same exact thing. Stay away from all 32way coils. I even heard that Nspecs are Rumored to be rebadged also, but that is just an accusation @ the moment that is still an uncertainty.
