Would you recommend not lowering the car using coilovers shortly after getting the car? I've driven for about 15 years now, and despite having my license for so long, I've only had my first car after moving out to California and haven't done any high performance driving or modding, so I was looking forward to getting into a platform that would allow me to do both relatively early.

Take advantage of the NASA deal Toyota USA has you hooked up with as well.
Story time: I kept my S2k stock (even alignment) for basically 1.5 years and I got to a point where I just couldn't crack the top 15 for autocross. I then asked some of the best guys I knew to co-drive and they were running within 0.1 to 0.2s of my time on a 70s course. All complained my car wouldn't turn. That's when I knew I was car limited. Changed my alignment from the factory crap, voila. Extra learning to be had.
The car looks great from the factory. Learn it and congrats on the goal!
