Default Coilovers for the S2000

I really don't like the idea of throwing down $1600 for a set of TEIN EDFCs, so I would like to find a quality alternative. What do you guys know about the APEXi coilover/strut set?

Are there any other brands that you guys could personally recommend or stay away from?

Also I would like to add I am looking at a full strut/coilover setup, not just springs. Been there done that with my older cars, never again.

Thanks guys!

I think the Apexi is overkill for the street. They are 32 way adjustable, which is just too much tweaking for the street. For a daily driven car, you want something with less functions and settings.

Tein flex with the EDFC is the worse. I've been there and done that before, they were junk and so is the EDFC.

My vote goes to Buddy Clubs. They are great for the price and will get the job done.
