There is definitely better but there is definitely worse. I'd go with the sleeve coilovers over the basic lowering springs though. The shock body is shorter than stock, which is nice, and they ride pretty good. It's not a Koni/GC by any means, but it's certainly not bad.

No, you need to get your car aligned with the toe set to dead "0" on all 4 corners.

Any time you deface the rotor surface you lose surface area and therefore braking ability. Gasses are not a concern and a well designed plain rotor will stay just as cool. If you need additional cooling, consider adding some brake ducts. If you need more stopping power, consider some more aggressive pads.
