Question Suspension Advice! HKS, CKS, KW coilovers

Hey Guys need some assistance in steering me in the right direction for upgrading the suspension on my 2012 Lexus ISF. I currently have the stock setup and the ride is compliant but super punishing over big pot holes and railroad tracks. Highway driving is reasonable as long as the road isn't too choppy. Been looking into hks and cks and from what i hear cks is a little bit better only because you can get them with custom springs rates and a swift spring upgrade. Wondering if anyone might be currently running either of these setups and if so what are your thoughts? My use will be mainly all daily driving with little to no track use maybe on occasion but mostly just spirited daily driving. People have made the comment of why not just upgrading to the 2014 suspension however if im going to spend the money i would like to have something fully adjustable so that if I ever choose to run a different wheel setup I wont be back at square one. Im not looking to even slam the car since im running a little bit bigger of a tire in the rear so im already completely flush as is at least in the rear with about a finger and a half of gap in the front from factory. I want to keep the practicality and the stock clearance so i plan on staying stock height with maybe a minimal drop in the front but really want something that's going to give me a much smoother ride with better overall performance than stock. I see also a lot of people like the KW v3's. Please give me all the deets

I didn't like the KW V3: undersprung and not customizable by KW. I drive spiritedly to the grocery store though. I like RR-Racing's offerings.
