I've got Bilstein PSS coilovers, commonly known as being some of the more comfortable coilovers out there, but they are still stiffer than stock. The PSS9's will allow you adjust shock settings so you might be able to dial in a bit more comfort.

The funny thing about the Bilsteins is that they can feel slightly more stiff over small bumps and road irregularities but they are quite compliant over big bumps and dips in the road, even more so than the oem suspension. Good luck with your choice, keep us posted on any change you make

Why do you "need" adjustable coilovers? 99.999% of users don't know that they are "adjusting" in the first place, so why not just eliminate that?
For you, I'd suggest Bilstein PSS (NOT PSS9). The PSS is the non-adjustable Bilstein damper with a Bilstein spring and helper spring. They are specifically valved for the S2000, but slightly stiffer than stock. In my previous experience (WRX), BC Racing BR coilovers were terrible. They were super stiff, to the point of being painful. If I turned down the rebound damping enough to be comfortable, they were super boucey. I hated them. I'm not sure how they are on S2000's, but I can guarantee that Bilstein and Koni make a significantly better coilover, and for almost the same price.

If you like sitting on a firm surface like a floor instead of something really soft, I would suggest looking into replacing your seat cushion with a new one as it is probably worn and saggy. I am replacing mine.
I'd learn towards KW since you want to eliminate the wheel gap and the PSS9s don't go that low. I have v3s and love them.
