I still will be hitting corners here and there, but I'm mostly concerned with comfort. Should I even go with coils or save some money and just get springs?
Before you jump in the deep end, you should try some BRZ coils on the back of your FR-S. I've tried 4 different sets of coil-overs, 1 of them Airlift, and didn't find the comfort I was looking for. If you want comfort, look up a BRZ owner in your area who has upgraded their ride to coil-overs and offer them $20 apiece for their old ones. I'm driving a BRZ with FR-S springs in front, and BRZ springs in back. I've never had a better ride from my car. The struts are all the same, BRZ or FR-S, so you don't need to change those if you don't have to.
Save your money for intake/header/OFT instead.
