It's good to do a alignment after shocks/struts changes or adding in strut bars [not really for this]

Yes an alignment is suggested since your front will be off after its lowered. The rear is non adjustable. My front right toe was off with TRDs and it was about 0.5 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

Even if you dont slam your car the aftermarket spring will put more wear on your stock struts. While not as much as much if you have a conservative drop, it will still decrease the life of your strut..

That is similar to the Eibach spring drop, and yes you will need an alignment.
