Tell us what you'll be using the car for and how much money you're willing to give away 1st.

ya.. budget is good. and when you say stock s2000.. do you mean you want to keep it looking stock, or do you want to lower it?

i think best is mostly personal preference. you can have a race coilover setup and be suburb on the track but crap on the streets and vice versa. the real question is what the main purpose of the car will be.

more info might be a good thing like mentioned above. If you track it or if you want to be able to adjust things then coilovers, andif you just want the drop then lowering springs will probally work for you.

theres no such thing as the best!!!! it all depends how u drive the car and how much u wanna spend. Different coilovers are made to do different things.

also depends on driving style and skill.

i assume since you want the "best" then you plan on being a track super star or are currently already one....
