I use to have twin flex coil overs for many years in my s2000. I ended up puting the stock suspension back on and have been on the stock suspension for many years. The tein flex were to hard to daily. I also had faster autocross time on the stock suspension compared to the tein flex.
I'm looking for a good coilover system that will ride like stock. I don't really want to lower my car more tha 1/2 an inch. I autocross for fun every few months. I may do a track day once a year. The most important thing is the coilover system must be very comfortable on the street.

I daily on Koni/GC coilovers, and while I run 550 spring rates you could run rates closer to stock... With the exception of large dips, my car rides really close to stock. I have had several people ride in my car, and they all compliment the way it rides, and that they can't tell I'm on aftermarket suspension.
Koni/GC coilovers - depending on spring rates
Bilstein PSS(9)
They are both fairly inexpensive, and deliver good ride quality.
For what its worth the Koni/GC setup I'm on now has been very nice, and I would recommend them to anyone. I like them because it's one of the systems that you do not have to reuse factory top-hats... so no spring compressing, just a quick change over, and if you need to have them rebuilt or replaced, or you just don't like them it's that much easier to go back.
