about 1.5 -2.0 inches is a good drop and will give you some good tuck.

A forum favorite for springs/shocks appears to be koni yellows with skunk2 or ground control adjustable coilovers if you don't want to sacrafice your ride quality for performance...

The short answer would be yes. Wheel alignment is something that won't seem necessay at first, but in the long run, your tires will have uneven wear. (Assuming drop changes camber)

coil overs are great. if you dont like the way your car sits you can always adjust them to the right hieght.
