Alot of the the guys on S2ki that are autoXing or tracking their cars are running the KW coilovers. I'm running Tein Flex w/EDFC but if you just want to lower the car and aren't going to track it, I would go with the Espilers.

too bad you live so far away, im thinking about getting rid of my Tein Flex already, didnt like them too much. I should have known better, i ran the same type of coilovers on my old rsx-s and i didnt like them then.

looking for a different setup now.......

DO NOT buy T1R coilovers...they are way over priced made in Tawain crap...and the same goes for the new buddyclubs, they are now made in Taiwan and their quality has dropped quite a bit.

I myself just bought the KW V3's for my S2K. I have yet to install them, but I will in the next week or so. From what I have heard from my friends that are running these, it's a GREAT coilover...and they are priced quite well considering what you get.

H&R is a great product at a reasonable price. Besides that, look into Swift and Espelir for the S2000s as far as springs go.

I'd steer away from coilovers unless you plan on corner weighing and tracking the car. For the street, they are useless. Koni yellow sport shocks with a spring kit of your choice will improve the handling and lower the car.
