And after researching those if you still want to upgrade the shocks and springs there are several options that do it without the craziness of going all adjustable everything.

Eh, I wouldn't go as far to say that they will make the car handle better. Stock suspension setup is extremely good, and adding any aftermarket component that has different compression rates from stock will slightly imbalance your setup. You could even argue that the Primacy HP's are perfectly fine tires for the amount of power the car has.

Lighter wheels is 100% worth the investment. And I didn't say you had to spend as much as a grand. I'm in the process of negotiating for a set of wheels that weigh 15.8 lbs each, and the guy is asking for $500. You can get good deals if you look for them. Coilovers are mainly for #stancenation (and I use that term loosely) purposes and you won't feel much of a difference performance-wise from stock with them. Shaving 5 pounds off each corner is something that you can actually feel while driving.
