In no particular order these are some of the mods that have improved my overall driving experience:
- convex side mirrors since rear visibility isn't great with the top up
- thicker steering wheel wrapped in nappa leather and alcantara that's fantastic to touch
- interior foot well lighting is a very inexpensive mod that adds a welcoming entry feel into the car and is very convenient to have at night
- if you don't mind some cabin vibration and noise at idle upgrading motor mounts substantially improves the throttle and shift response of the car. I've personally used hasports 70a which may be a little rough for DD
- Blox 480g weighted shif t knob

The only thing that I have and will do for mine is a Berk HFC and a Gernby tune. With the requisite Hondata FlashPro of course.
The driveability improvement was HUGE. I've also noticed that the exhaust is getting a little more noticeable without any added noise inside the car with the top up.
Not interested in any other "improvements".
YMMV

Blacktrax/Kingpin Spherical suspension bushings. They are win/win and greatly enhance the character of the S2000. They also open the doors to the ability to make a lot of additional changes without sacrifice. You can run far less rear toe, eliminate toe under load, run any wheel offset you want and any tire you want without geometry deflection under load, et cetera.

Extreme performance summer tires aren't really a "mod" but they're great to have on the card.
