Stay away from Chinese coilovers including BC, they are junk. They have done no development. They come with spring rates which are suitable for street/track use and quite decent values 6kg/12kg, but the dampers are absolutely crap. They are not valved properly and have quite soft compression damping, but have really stiff rebound. Just feels really underdamped. really stiff over small bumps but really soft over large bumps. Terribly setup.

Entry level coilovers I would suggest buying ST X, or Bilstein B14 or KW V1. They'd achieve your goals of fixing the shocks and not an uncomfortable ride. Forget fixed lowering spring options they're all hopeless, height adjust is vital since the fixed options all seem to get it wrong.
