Default Coilovers For 2007 Lexus Ls460L?

I ordered some 22 vossen cv3s and trying to figure out which coilovers to get for my 2007 Lexus Ls460L. This is a daily driver and not looking to go crazy with the stance but to look decent with the 22's. I am looking between the Jic Magic FLT-TAR VIP 16k f 8k r for about $2200 or BC Racing 12k f and 8k r for $990. I know the Jic would be a more quality product obviously was wondering if that is too aggressive for daily driving, I heard conflicting reviews that Jic coilovers saying Jic coilovers ride rough and some say they ride perfect. Any thoughts or opinions on the subject would be extremely helpful and to see what other people have used in the past. I'm leaning towards the Jic but I don't want to ruin the ride quality of my daily driver if they are too aggressive.

Thanks

Bryan

ride quality is so subjective, you will have a hard time going by reviews. I have had coilovers on every car I have owned for years. On my 07 LS460, I went with the Tanabe springs, and they sit perfectly with my 22" Vossens and ride as close to stock as possible with a drop. TO me its perfect for a daily that is looking to just minimize wheel gap.

To be honest, the only reason I did this is because my buddy gave me the springs for free. That being said, I dont regret it.

What is the cost of the rebuild for the jic's? If a shock goes bad in a year, can you just order a new one and switch them out yourself? Or do you have to send the whole assembly to them?
Alot of people like the bc coilovers with swift spring upgrades. You're also going to want a rubber/urethane upper pillow ball mount as opposed to a solid bearing for additional comfort and less road noise transfer.
