Not 86/BRZ specific, but a general overview. For this car, lowering more than an inch on just springs is when you start really feeling the lack of travel.

Some more background here on different coilover features.
Really expensive coilovers can be awesome, but are generally designed for motorsports. They sometimes also require more frequent rebuilds or maintenance. Really cheap coilovers usually have poor quality damping or just aren't as well thought out. The reeeeeeally cheap stuff don't have the best build quality. Lots of sub $1k coilovers use the same damper part for different cars (i.e. 350z using same shock as WRX or BRZ etc). Factory dampers are better than those in some coilovers.
With an all-season tire, you don't need anything too stiff and you don't need tons of camber. Exact specs should depend on whatever you end up with.
You don't have to spend a ton of money for an all-around fun fast easy to live with suspension for an 86/BRZ. The 3 you've narrowed it down to are good options.

Reviving this thread as I am getting ready to upgrade suspension. I'm having a hard time deciding between your RCE Yellows/Bilstein Combo or RCE SuperStreet-1. Budget wise, the combo would make more sense. But I'm also thinking in the long-run when I track, if having the SS-1 would be better suited for track/street uses.
Tracking is a bit far, so the car sees mostly highway and back roads. I think a 20mm drop is more than enough as I wouldn't go any further than 1 inch drop, also so that @
NoHaveMSG stops making fun of my wheel gap.
Are there settings I would have to change/set with the SS-1s or does it come with a standard setup from factory. Also, do you recommend getting the shock mounts, mine are fairly new (2018) I only have 34K miles. Thanks!
Forgot to mention, I did end up getting AS-4 Michelin Tires, slightly bigger than OEM 225/45R17, I'm assuming getting either suspension wouldn't necessarily need much adjustment.
