Default Back in the Fold, need some recommendations

Well, after an almost six years absence, I'm about to become an owner of an S2000 again. Later today I shall be picking it up to start applying a little TLC and some modifications. My plan is to, over the winter, have a little crusty bodywork repaired, change the exhaust for an HKS Hi Power system, some Rays alloys and change the suspension. This is where I could do with some recommendations of what dampers to go for. I want to lower the car a bit but not slam it & retain a reasonable level of comfort, I don't want to be knocking my fillings out on every trip ! So, if anyone could recommend where I should start to look, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers.

No real limits on budget but I don't want to buy stuff that's going to be a waste on what will primarily be a road car.

Meisters buy direct, I think they are still a Trader here.
Bilsteins - Balance Motorsport or import from the USA.
Nitrons - direct I guess
Ohlins - I think one of the Traders sells these - have a search of the Traders forum.
