Thanks for all your input guys! So I think the consensus is that changing only one component is not ideal.

I used to have a 2000 Acura Integra lowered over 1" on H&R Sport springs and Koni Yellows. It was firm but I drove cross country from San Diego to Raleigh, NC without any problems. So this leads me to believe that there is something seriously imbalanced with the 2016 BRZ stock suspension. I test drove a 2017 with performance pack, and the ride was definitely an improvement.

In the end, I decided not to go the cheap route, and I pulled the trigger on the Sachs coilover set from fellow forum member SharkBait88. It has adjustable monotube shocks and low spring rates which I hope will be the recipe for a smooth ride. Hope to have them installed soon and will be back with my impressions!
