I am in contact with Bilstein and they developed a new 9-way adjustable coilover system for S2000.
The price is $1299 and we can order it from the US distributor Turner Motorsport at 1-800-280-6966 (info and sales)

Bilstein info:

The Bilstein PSS 9 Suspension provides the ultimate in performance tuning. The fully-adjustable monotube gas shock absorbers offer a selection of nine precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The front and rear progressive rate springs allow accurate adjustment of the vehicle ride height and center of gravity for the level of performance you seek. Now you can enjoy the kind of precise suspension tuning formerly available only on race cars. The PSS 9 system puts you in complete control. Whether it's a weekend of competition or the daily commute, absolute handling and control are just a few twists away.

Bilstein offers the PSS sytem for $800

Bilstein Info:

The Bilstein PSS Suspension allows you to adjust your vehicle's ride height without the expense of the fully adjustable damping system. This system features both coilover and standard monotube gas pressure shocks with performance level valving along with application specific, progressive rate coil springs. The PSS system lets you set your car low and tight for optimum performance or back to a more stock like ride height and handling characteristics.Ride height adjustments can be made on the vehicle without removing the suspension. The solid aluminum spring seat and lock nut allows a selective adjustment of the vehicle's ride height. Spring travel and vehicle body height change, but the spring seat remains pre-loaded throughout the allowable range of adjustment.

I know of a couple of people running Bilstein's in SCCA stock class, though they are not adjustable models. Both like the shocks for street/autox duty. However, to maintain stock ride height, they had to custom fabricate lower spring perches.

I've always been a bigger fan of bilstein over koni for street use. However I don't have much experience with Bilsteins in an Autox setting. The little bit I do have with them impressed me. My concern about the PSS is that the valving is not set up for Stock spring rates.

The PSS9 kit is not currently available in the US fopr the Honda S2000, nor is it scheduled for release to my knowledge. The PSS kit is available (we sell it for $899), however the PSS9 kit is not.
