Suspension Questions
My S2000 is completely stock, except for some racing pads and brake fluid. I only use the car on the weekends for track events/autocross and having fun. I really want to improve the handling/feel of the car, but I need a little help so I dont go the wrong way.
Ive rode in an S2000 around beaverun with buddy clubs... really liked the feel. Ive been in an S2000 with slightly stiffer springs on ground controls... I like that too.
Ive been to over 10 autocrosses and 6 track events and want to change the car. Please help me out with the best suspension to look cool and handle better.
Im considering the buddy clubs, varient 3s, and ground control-koni setup.
Please help me out.

I've put the v3s on my car, and I'd have to say i'm beyond impressed with them. The car feels planted at any speed and cornering genre.
To make matters in better, they are very streetable. Even on the uneven Connecticut back country (I use that term lightly) roads, they remain "connected" to the road.
As for the v2s vs the v3s. Will you need the v3s now? Most likely not. When your skill level progresses, the more events you do - if you are sitting on the v2s you'd wish you had the v3s. And it would cost time and money to unload the v2s and pick up a set of something that is DA.
So my advice to you is pick up a set of the v3s set the rebound settings very conservative (I'd say go with the stock setting) and forget about it until you a ready for it.
Just my .02
