Most comfortable setup for daily driving?
Simple as that. Whats a comfortable spring/shock setup? Besides stock, as that is the obvious answer. My stock setup is trashed, and i'd like to pick up some handling and even comfort if possible. (Swift springs with bilsteins are what i'm leaning towards)

Um, you want better handling and a more comfortable ride? Those are nice goals, but I can't imagine anything cost effective giving you both.
Stock springs are the most comfortable ride. Anything that lowers the car had better increase the spring rate, or you'll get either shock bottoming or those nice dents in your inner fender from the UCA. Increased spring rate = decreased ride comfort.
Your best bet for comfortable daily driver suspension is good shocks with stock springs. Its a shame that Koni doesn't make FSD shocks for our cars yet.
Koni FSD
And there's always airbags. Everyone is going to go against this suggestion, but if you want to feel like you're riding on air, the only way to do it is to ride on air. Besides, airbags will let you "park hard", if that is important to you (it isn't for most).
