Smile What suspension should I get

After countless hours of searching on what suspension on getting... I thought i made up my mind and picked KW V3...everyone always had positive things to say about them never negative...it is also in my price range.... so why not!?!?! right..Well i just found out that you have to use the stock top hats...Im a little bothered that I'm going to spend 1,900+ and still use part of my stock suspension... are they really that good...is there any thing else out there in that price range!?!?! Im not looking to track the car or anything as it is my daily...i just want a comfortable ride... I want to sit on the tire (just to give you an idea on how low i want to sit) stock wheels and stock tires!!!
Thank you all for your 02...

The v3's are way overkill for just a street driver car. I'm sure they aren't as comfortable as you'd like either, as they're mainly for track use. And $1900 for a track coil with no track use? c'mon man!

Look into apexi, buddyclub, maybe flex, and the PSS9 which I've heard nothing but great things about.

Good luck.

I've had V3s for nearly two years, and I drive an average of 60 miles a day. Never a problem, never too harsh. I've loved every minute of them.

Oh, and yes, they tear it up on the track too. Like a dream. Make sure you have someone competent set it up though. It's easier to ruin your handling than to improve it.

Just installed the buddy club race spec the other day and the ride feels stock IMO

BTW my S is also my daily driver, that's why I past up on the KW 3.....way too expensive for coilovers especially when you're not gonna be doing any tracks.

This month's issue of Sports Compact Car has a nice review of a few of the popular suspension brands. It just so happened that they tested it on S2000s. Pick one up.
