TX 1985 RX-t Recommendation for struts/coil overs

Hello, I am new to the group. I have a 1985 FB 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE that I am looking to upgrade the struts/shocks/coilovers. I am asking for recommendations for a premium brand. I am not looking for high performance, but a solid brand for daily driving. What are people using?

Look at BC coil overs or Techno Toy Tuning (https://technotoytuning.com/mazda/fb/suspension/)

I fitted KYB adjustable shocks on the rear and KYB Excel G front shocks for the convertible. These are available from JDMwerks on ebay as a package. I used Pedders standard height springs for front and rear. This returned the car to OEM level and height which provides a very smooth ride. If I was daily driving, I'd want this level of ride. The coupe has Koni Yellow shocks and Lovells standard height springs. I am changing the springs to King Springs which are the same level as Pedders just to provide a smoother ride.

I did Konis up front and KYB AGX in the rear, both adjustable too.
