Default Which coil over setup?

Based on what I've read on this forum regarding springs vs. coil overs when lowering the S2000, I think the best choice for me would be coil overs. Gonna set it up with a moderate 3/4 to 1" drop. The car will be used only for spirited street fun. It must maintain ride quality at least equal to stock and suffer no loss of handling when compared to stock. Looking to hear from anyone who had similar requirements and purchased a coil over setup. Which setup did you end up installing, did they meet or exceed your requirements, and any impressions you'd care to share. Many thanks.

I have had the Tein RAs on the car since it had like 800 miles on it and they have been wonderful ever since. The ride is only a little harsher than stock when set to Teins recommendations but can be made softer to more like stock if wanted. They came preset to lower the car about 1.5 inches and it looks sooo much better. I haven't even messed with them since as it handles so good and looks so much better than stock. I don't know about the other brands as I dont really have any experience with any of them but I'm sure they are alright also....besides JIC. After reading the long 5+ page thread on them and there problems I would not even consider these.

I just bought and installed a set of Ground Control coilovers over my stock shocks. I thought that the ride would be much more harsh with the increased spring rate but was suprised that the ride is just as it was stock.

It does seem to handle better, or habdle more to my liking. I still need to get it all lined up though.
