Default S2000 coilover choices?

Hey I'm in the market for some coilovers for my s2000. I want to use these for DD as well as have the car stanced and pretty low. I searched and did a lot of research and I came down to Bc's, stance, and buddy clubs. Let me know what you guys recommend even if it's not what I listed.

Thanks!

Riddle me this Batman. You say you did a lot of research and narrowed your options down to these. Enlighten us on why it came down to these and perhaps maybe tell people what the end goal is with this mod. Because if all you want is to drop the car into the weeds just get the cheapest crap you can find and slap it on.

Future hint: Vague questions will get you vague answers or no answers at all.

I want it low but also I want quality and I want to know which of these would be best to run if I wanna be flush on a DD and most comfy.

Thanks and sorry for the vagueness

None. You cannot your cake and eat it too. If you want it slammed then your ride will be harsh. Conversely if you want a comfortable ride then you can't be slammed. Not even tucking tire.

I kinda figured...gotta pay to play. Which coilover do you prefer if you were in my shoes looking to be flush for a DD?

What do you mean looking flush? You do understand the coilover doesn't have anything to do with how flush the car is, right?

Just get the cheapest suspenison you can find if your just going to slam it and put wheels that don't fit the car correctly.

You cannot slam/flush/stance/ruin your car and have it ride good...no matter what coilover you buy. Which part are you having trouble with?

More like shooting water in a barrel

OP just get whatever will get you low. Since all you want to do is make your car "flush" I am going out on a limb and assuming this car will not be tracked/Auto-X'd.

Koni/GC, KW, AST, Ohlins, Eibach R2...That's all I can think of worth putting on a car like a s2000.

Somehow I doubt the OP wants to spend $1000+ on suspension. Even though I would recommend nothing less.
