Default coilovers

Ok so I have been debating for a while and getting ready to work on my suspension. I have been going back and forth between the megan ez coilovers and just stock oem shocks with new top mounts all the way around. But when I figure up the prices from sewell lexus its going to be about the same price. I know everybody says go coilovers and normally I do from owning tein flex, kw, and JIC on other other cars but I'm kinda looking for something comfortable these days without the worry of all the tire wire. I wouldn't mind lowering this car but no more than 2" inches and maybe just an 1" at all. And yes I did search and I don't really post much just because I do nothing but search and research. So it all comes down to I don't need coilovers but for the same price I would rather replace the whole strut assembly as long as it would be still comfortable. Any opinions and thanks.

Oh and I will also doing steering rack busings, front trailing arm bushings. ball joints, outer tie rod ends, front rotors, pads, fitting kit, and shim kit. Anything I'm missing? I just finished up school and about to start school again for 2 years and just want to make sure I don't have to worry about the car during the process.

And I don't want the coilovers to be something I regret like the headers I put on my car. I can't stand the ticking noise they make as I'm sure I don't have an exhaust leak.

From searching and my previous experience, the only coilovers I would buy are the Bilstein PSS. Ohlins PCVs would be nice but also very expensive.

Yeah from searching I did see a lot of good things about the BC's and also a few things on the Bilstein PSS only because it seems that a lot of people don't have them. Which those two were actually the ones I was considering at first because of the price and the reviews. But it seemed that Megan has actually made a good product for our cars with both the LP and the EZ although I swore I would never get them when I had my other cars haha. So I guess I'm back to the drawing board and thinking about what to do again. I already ordered the other pats today and then noticed the EZ was out of stock until mid June.....
