There are many options, most pretty good tbh.
Depends on your budget and intended use as to how fancy you wish to go but the steel bodied adjustable AVO’s (can get them via Banks or directly) are a pretty good choice for the money and if looked after they hold up and continue to work as intended pretty well. - 22 years using them without any complaints.

I have he Protech and springs from SJS for my tcs.  They work great and look good too.
I can't comment on how they would be in an S2, but I assume similarly.

I agree with everyone here. There are a surprising number of good options given the number of Europas on the road. I got Protech shocks and I’m happy with them - and they are too pretty to put under a car.
