Tein flex with the EFDC unit will allow you to adjust dampening from the cabin.

The only way to get height adjustment from inside is an air ride/air bag suspension.
Can the EFDC be used with any of the TIEN coilovers or does it have to be a specific TIEN coilover?

i believe the edfc is simply a little motor which spins the damper adjust on the top of the strut. if this is the case, id imagine you could modify it to fit any damper adjustable suspension, not just tein ones

There IS SOMETHING LIKE what you describe available. It works using hydraulic perches manipulated through a canister with a knob (looking a lot like a damper's remote compression cannister strangely enough). it would require either using a weight jacker (one for both front dampers and one for both rear dampers or alternatively, 4 such units independently adjusting each corner). Big issue is why would anybody be adjusting ride height so frequently as to need these AND why would anybody adjust ride heights without recornerweighting????? Generally we have found rideheight settings to be set it and forget it adjustments instead focusing on damping and alignment thereafter....

Pretty sure Cusco make a similar system as Tein but don't know IF there is a specific set for the s2000 yet. I was shocked when I was chatting to a racer at a hillclimb, looked in his evo 9 and his EDFC was Cusco... didn't even knew they made them..

Some ferrari models adjust ride height when you turn the "manettino" knob. In addition to recalibrating throttle/shift maps, adjusting damping, etc. The technology certainly exists, just in $.25M and up vehicles.
