I'm honestly not sure, depends a little on the listener, some people like their highs super bright.. leads to listening fatigue though in me at least. You can pull the spec sheet from parts express, they drop off in response off axis around 4k to 5khz. Obviously with a cap they will drop off faster, and let the factor tweeter do the work. Ears are very sensitive to that range.
If you want a simpler install, you could buy a 3.5 coax set and replace both the factory 3.5 and tweeter at the same time. There are lots of options for these on sonic eltronix and crutchfield. Then in the future if you want to upgrade, you could rotate those to the rear.
Some note though, if you do this you might want to choose a higher sensitivity set as you'll be bumping from 2ohm to 3 or 4 depending on the speaker you choose. also the factory 3.5 wiring in daisy chained to the tweeter, so if you pull the tweeter you need to use some wire to bypass its harness, see this thread, its got a good picture of this
