I think it's a good idea if you plan on only light modding the vehicle. I went all out and did every mod possible, and lowered it significantly. This rendered the car not great for a daily driver. Given your size I personally believe the car is too small for you to be comfortable as a daily driver. Trust me, the mod bug will creep up on you. Only mod that really makes it not the best daily driver is the suspension lowering, etc. Once you have the car all nice you don't want to drive it in the winter, and given your're in MO you go through the same crap weather I do in Michigan. I purchased my S5, drove it year round for one year, then bought a winter car to drive in the crappy months. Ended up buying an E46 BMW, long story, bad decision as it was another 2 door coupe i modded just as much as my S5 and then I didn't want to drive that in the winter either haha! Ended up selling that and just using my 2005 A8 as my daily driver for when it isn't a nice day to drive the S5.
