Not really.. exhaust won't add much, other than sound/looks. Suspension will benefit both looks and handling, but it depends on if you go with just springs on stock struts or full coilovers (I'd recommend the latter).

Of course you will. If you get springs, you won't have to worry about the exhaust scraping on speedbumps or anything. If you get coilovers, you might have to depending on A) how much you lower your car and B) how low the exhaust hangs.

No problem :)

Most people (so far) have either gone with BC Racing coilovers or TEIN coilovers. There's a few other companies out there, such as KSPORT or D2 RACING (I think?) that have coilovers for the A/C. But not too many people have given their experience with them, yet.

In time though, there will definitely be more reviews/experiences with the A/C.
