Default Different suspension setups pros cons?

2016 gsf with 52k miles on my stock suspension looking at the pros and cons of these options:

1) swift springs and brand new oem shocks $1200ish

2) cks coilovers and swift springs or similar price point coilovers $2100ish?

My priority is not having that feeling that my car is breaking over hard bumps. Obviously better handling and less fenderwell gap are my goals as well as not spending $4000 plus.

I had a Taurus sho with Megan coilovers and it was a great ride until you hit a harder bump and it felt terrible over them. Obviously those are cheaper but it was the only manufacturer at the time.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Are you referencing the rest springs or coilover kit? Also, what spring rates are they?
