Default Full Coilover recommendation

I'm looking to replace my F sport lowering springs with coilover. Can you guys recommend which coilover to get based on my driving. My is350 is daily driven and is mostly driven around town. I would say 70% city and 30% highway. What i'm looking for is something that will give me a smooth ride as the road here are horriable.

BCRs with a 12k front and 8k rear spring pkg. It's what I have and I do about the same city/hwy driving as a DD. Just about as compliant as stock, but with the height adjustability and dampening ability you'll grow to love! Got 40k+ miles on mine as of now; holding up great, except I do want to replace the driver's front cartridge for a new one soon.

Well to be quite honest there are tons of options - the more popular ones that a lot of people use here are Megan EZ, BC....

I personally have used them all including a Stance brand. Thus far I'm liking the Stance brand most.

If I went with the BCR coilover will I run into vsc light or tpms light warnings?

^No, unless you broke or tore something up you shouldn't have...like pulling an ABS wire out of the hub.
