Get some custom coilovers with 12kg front and 22kg rear and daily drive on that. Will be smooth as butter.

I'll be the bad guy. If you expect to be spoon-fed information, you are way off. Spend a few hours, or even days, or weeks, compiling research based on reviews, opinions, r&d, testing, etc. and what your ideal set up would be. Are you looking for a small drop and maintaining a smooth ride? Do you like a hard and bouncy ride? Are you looking for performance, looks, or both? Are you going to hella slam your car and make it superhellaflushilisticitakeitupthebuttdocious? What is your budget? Are you planning springs/shocks, coilover sleeves/shocks, or full coilovers? Do you care about quality or are you going the cheap route? Many of these questions must be addressed before asking for help. I spent 6 months doing research before I decided on my set up. We cannot help you if you can't help yourself. If you think I'm being a dick, expect a much worse answer from most of the forum.

Since that is out of the way, I have daily driven my set up for roughly two years or so, Koni Yellow Shocks/Ground Control coilovers with custom rates, I love it and wouldn't trade it. Handles extremely well combined with the rest of my suspension, and is still very comfortable for a daily.
