I'm quite sure you can source Buddyclub RSD off ebay for around $1300USD + shipping etc, it should still be under $2000. I'm not convinced by Buddyclub's quality nor their customer service in Australia, so do not let that be a determining factor.

As someone stated before, the spring rates don't mean a great deal. It's to do with the valving of the shocks etc. If you look at the KW V3 and the KW CS, they both use 515lbs/in springs (9.2kg/mm approx.), although the CS are valved towards being a more track focussed application, hence the harsher ride on the streets.

On another note, I read on s2ki that KW make the most of valving to achieve what they want from a coilover whilst getting away with the lowest spring rate possible.

Ferrari: How much lower than stock do you have your car now? And have you added any supporting mods such as a BSK, RCA, drive shaft spacers etc? I trust your opinion on the handling side of things!!

blusir2: everytime a thread like this comes up you are always banging on about the Toda Fightex DA coilovers. Have you got a set on your s2000? If not, then why are you recommending them to members here? I have also yet to read any review from anyone on these coilovers, please enlighten me if you know of any. Also Brad is after coilovers around $2000, I'm quite sure the Toda coils are over $3000.

I think for the price range it's hard to go past the KW V3s (provided you can get a good deal), the PSS9s are not that much cheaper. End of the day both are top quality German made suspension. I'll report back on the former shortly though
