Coilover recommendations
Thanks everyone for all the replies and recommendations. I'm sensing a lot of love for the Ohlins and reviews and YouTube backs this up in spades.
I have emailed MeisterR and Jerrick confirmed that their GT1 is an equivalent set up to the Ohlins (their SDV being similar to Ohlins DFV) as @chrispayze mentions above.
I explained my needs to Jerrick and that I was in no hurry to change and he mentioned a new product/set-up that he is working on and suggested that I wait until this is completed to see if it suited my needs more closely. He's estimated winter/spring for more info so this is probably what I intend to do.
I have some bodywork issues to address (usual places
), so spring would be ideal. If the new set-up doesn't suit, I will most likely look at Ohlins or GT1

AFAIK the Bilstein B14 PSS is by far the most OEM you can get , and highly recommended. Single tube set up, extra reservoir on the rears like OEM. Bitch to fit the rears like all..
retains the old top hats and bushings but they could be replaced.
Whatever you wish to pay really on suspension. Sometimes I think it's a bit overkill ,to go very expensive ..mines a daily with no track work but commuting and the odd countryside blasts for several hours.
It's a fine line as well whether you want too much adjustment to tension rates as well as height.
Personally not for me but the Bilstein at 900 quid have to be worth a look.
Well reviewed

I am in the market for shocks too...
I got BC BR currently with 12/10 setup but on track they just cant cope, super bumpy, rebound terrible.
For 100% track use and being under £2k what would people recommend?

The Bilsteins aren't stiff enough for track only - a good thing so far as I was concerned!
I got them last year for well under £2k on a black friday deal, from Ross Sport, they let me choose the spring rates and were good to deal with. I've noticed they're offering 15% off ohlins kits for Evo's this month, if you contacted them they may do a deal for an S2000 set.

I have returned to OEM for a nicer, comfy ride lol , my old bones didn’t like the Meister , messed about with spring rates and adjustments , in the end just not as good as the original Showa , I know, no adjustments.
i am sure the Meisters are and we’re fine for a specific use.
