This is an interesting post, a lot of choices and directions that you can go. Each person's set up will be determined by what you want to do with your car and your preference as far as looks and ride quality. With your initial budget in your first post of $900-1200, you would be very limited in your choice of coilovers. A KW V3, for example, is in the neighborhood of $2200. Very few quality sets are under the $1200. That may help you make your decision right there if you are not willing to go to a larger budget. Standard lowering springs are fine, but are limited. With coilovers, you have alot of setup choices and are able to change your mind and go to a different set up tomorrow if you choose to. I have been fortunate to have driven several different FR-S with all different set ups. Each is completely different and has different characteristics. Especially since it is your Daily as mine is my Daily, you don't want to hate driving it every day. The car is so well balanced right out of the box, I would hate to ruin that. Take your time and make the best decision for you, if that means spending a little more then that might be worth it in the end.
