pros n cons
pros:
Helps with performance
Helps with looks.
Helps with a more sporty ride.
Depends on roads, It could be enjoyable.
cheaper alternatives (ltuned shocks)
Cons:
Wear n tear on certain factory suspension parts
Price of nice coilovers
Roads can literally age your car before your eyes.
Need inner fender alterations imho.(plastic liner shaved)
I think the pros outweigh the cons. good luck with your choice.

Pros & Cons of suspension
Pros:
drastic handling improvement
reduced wheel/fender gap
sportier / more agressive stance
Cons:
difficult to find a good alignment shop depending on your suspension choice
if con 1 happens then tires will wear quicker (this happened to me)
more likelihood of tickets due to spirited driving due to Pro1 from above.
