IIRC, the 04-05 cars can use AP1 racks but 06-09 need the CR rack because of the VSA system.

According to the website http://honda.epc-data.com/s2000/ and cross referenced with the PDF file from the dealer steering rack part number "53602-S2A-013 BOX COMP., STEERING GEAR"is the same for all JDM through out 2004~2009 including Type-S. So can conclude that the Type-S do not have the quicker steering ratio like the CR Edition.

For RHD seems like you can use "53602-S2A-003 BOX COMP., STEERING GEAR" for AP2 > AP1 conversion

Forgot to updated this thread... I have completed the swap back in October last year.
The swap wasn't difficult, the most difficult part would be swapping the end links from the old rack to the new rack.
Still have to do an alignment thou, but the car tracks fine as of now.

The ap1 racks are fairly cheap. Did you notice a big change?

Steers like a AP1 now... After the swap, the first intersection I took out of the shop I almost ram on to the side walk and hit the wall.

I install AP1 2001 steering rack with torque sensor on my AP2 2005 with SPOON rigid bushings and the 2 braces from C/R and what upgrade it is for my car, sharp steering, no downside! The rack cost me 250$, 2 hours to install, 100$ approx for the 2 braces, 100$ approx for the bushings and 60$ for alignement, best moove, go for it!
