i wouldnt think itll kill your oem shocks/struts but then again shorter springs on shocks/struts meant for oem height.... ive got to consider this myself... but im pretty sure it should ride ok. you can invest in shocks/struts later on that are meant for short springs i plan on getting some later on for better ride quality nice and smooth

Yes, it should still lower it the same amount, I dont think the struts will change that.  As for what shop to go to, most tire stores also do suspension, so find a reputable tire store near you and ask them what they would charge you for the job.
