From what I know, nah.

KW are expensive, and from what I know you can get similar performance for significantly cheaper.
I don't think I met a single person at track events who got KW's for a BRZ/86 recently.

Ohlins for our platform have changed dramatically over time, and the newer ones are known to be meh.

A common choice in that price range used to be CSG Spec TEIN Flex A.
That's what I currently have and I'm not too happy how they behave on the street.
Here's a thread with more details: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126107

You might also be able to find used Annex coilovers in that price range.
Some folks have been parting out their cars for various reasons, and I've seen a few Annex on sale at decent price.
