So my daily driver is in need of some new suspension. '15 FRS

Other than full rear end/diff mount, tranny mount and steering rack bushings it's all stock.

I was looking at the Meister ZetaCRD, TEIN Flex A or the CSG Spec version if I end up going with coilovers.

My goal is to end up with something that is a bit stiffer and a little lower than stock.  The roads in southern Arizona can be rough and I find myself on dirt roads so I don't want something too low or stiff.

 

Suggestions?

A bit stiffer and a little lower than stock I'd recommend the favorite lowering spring and B6s or Konis, I think a better value than coilovers. 

I run coilovers on the Miata, the budget Goodwin Feals, love them, but after running a street oriented set up with konis on the E36, it's a little better daily set up.   I also did just springs and shocks on the e30 when I had that, and it daily'd great for six years between the girl and me. 

SoAZ roads are sometimes less than stellar,  I know.   I will drive more distance for smoother in nearly all cases.

For daily driving I'd highly recommend the classic tried and true Sachs Performance Package dampers + RCE Yellows combo that is so popular in the GT86 world. 

 

You can get the package with nearly new dampers for ~$850

Came here to recommend RCE Yellows as well, but I'd go a step further and add new dampers while you have it apart.
