If you have to ask that question, then you're totally OK leaving your suspension stock.

If you want to know why I will be changing my suspension components, it's because:

A. I want to tweak it to perform better, and better fit my driving style

B. I want to improve the looks of the car. Like many of us, I think the wheel gap on this car looks terrible, and the stock wheels aren't spectacular either.

Now I understand that certain compromises will be made in doing so. The ride quality may be less pleasant, due to higher spring/damper rates and reduced suspension travel. These are compromises the manufacturer had to make to ensure that everyone wouldn't be offended by the way the car behaves. Everyone will have different opinions on what's best for the car. Bottom line is, if you drive it and you're totally satisfied with the way it is stock, then don't worry about it.
