I bought mine from ScienceofSpeed. They're not listed in the website but if you call them you can place an order over the phone. They can pretty much order anything, just ask. Their phone number is listed on their website. 
Be careful of the ebay ones. A lot of them are rip-offs and are extremely difficult to distinguish from the real ones.

My 18" O.Z. Ultraleggeras were a suboptimal offset, so I went with the Comptech adjustable springs & Koni yellows. This allowed me to dial in exactly how much drop I wanted because I knew I'd be rubbing.
At first, the Comptechs were too stiff. But I've had them on the car for 3 years now and they have mellowed out to just-about-perfect. The ride feels like stock in terms of comfort, but the car handles much better and man oh man I love the damping from the Konis. (I keep 'em on the firmest setting all 'round.) Plus it's great fun to be able to change the ride height in my own garage whenever I feel like it.
At the moment I would say that this is a really great setup for a street driven S2000. But if the springs keep getting softer, a few years from now I might feel otherwise... By contrast, I've had Eibachs on a previous car and they stayed consistent year after year. The earlier posts about buying a quality spring from an experienced manufacturer were spot on.
Some additional info - I'm running 225/40/18's front, 265/35/18's rear. It's dropped roughly 1/2". I've rolled and pulled the fenders and also relocated the rear bumper bolts. That finally stopped the rubbing at the rear, but the fronts still chew up the fender liners if I really throw it hard into a turn.
I've also got the Comptech sway bars front/rear, Comptech front upper & rear lower strut bars, Rick's front lower X-brace and a Cusco rear upper strut brace. Put it all together and I've got more grip than I know what to do with for a daily driver. I used to drift it around corners all the time on the stock setup, and now I can barely get the rear unstuck at all.
