If you can stretch an extra £150ish these are a fantastic all round set of coilovers that come highly recommended:

Bilstein PSS

Otherwise you could go with the regular chinese brands: BC/Megan/D2 etc which are super cheap but I'd say they aren't much better/even worse than the OEM setup on the S2k, certainly worse in terms of comfort and longevity.

Have you considered going with these? MEISTERR ZETA-R

£749 + the speical discount and its only £599.20 inc delivery, that's well within the budget of £600!

+1 for the Meister R. Have them on both my civic and s2000. Great value for money.

On the brighter side of things you can buy yourself a nice cold drink with the leftover change
