It all gets expensive that way. With prices on yahoo auctions add 10-20% japanese broker fee, Japanese domestic shipping, freight to Australia, then taxes etc. While OHLINS are a quality name and are well known, you should be more interested in finding out which specific coilovers are known to work really well with your car. Go for tried and tested solutions. I would recommend you look into TODA Fightex DA and Bilstein PSS9. DMS are excellent but not sure about honda applications.

My coil-overs are 12kg/12kg and they are fine, I've even ran them on the stiffest setting for daily driving without a problem and the road to my house is one of the worse. It also depends on the damper as well, I had d2 coilovers on my old celica, and it was alot more bumpy and rough then the coilovers on my s2000 atm.

DMS coils are great, I wouldnt excatly say they are affordable, neither are they worth if for a street driven car, hardly even woth it for a car that goes track less then 5 times a year.

I was worried that when I get the coil overs with a 14kg/12kg setting that they would be too hard. But seeing that I have also been reading that there are a lot of factors that attribute to the overall feel of the end result I've been left a little 'less' stressed about the decision that I have made to buy my coilovers.

Sorry for hijacking the thread like this. Hopefully this feedback will help you with your choice mate.

The most significant determining factor as to how well coilovers will work and how the car will perform with them is how well the springs and dampers work together. Some coilovers with 'high' spring rates will feel much better on the road than others with 'lower' spring raters, it all depends on how well the springs and matched to the shocks and vice versa. I had 14k/8k on my suzuki ignis sport and at low speeds its a little bouncy (car only weighs 935kg) but at speed the handling and roadholding is phenomenal. As I said, go with tried and tested...and get them set up properly...PM me if you're in Melbourne and need an excellent place to get your suspension set up.

Did you end up getting the coilovers. If not there's a guy in 'sale' section selling PSS9 for the s2k for around $2K or so. From my personal experience, some of the best coilovers available.
