Yea, im pretty sure im gonna lower it, just depends on how much i want to lower. Who knows, maybe i might go with tein basics instead of h/s techs. Or maybe air runners But i have to take it one step at a time.

i'd get the fenders rolled first if you plan on lowering.

+1 . . . That's what I did. With your proposed set-up and ultimate future plans, it would be a good idea.

Oh, Patrick, if you haven't already done so . . . You might start to plan ahead and look into camber kits.

If you plan on dropping it more than an inch, you will need them both. If you stay at an inch or less, you should be fine. Rear has some adjustments, the front doesnt.

Edit..if you do get coilovers, you will drop more than an inch...again, its inevitable

Yes, you will not need the camber kit(s) until you lower your car. I have a rear camber/toe kit only. The rear alignment specs are dead center factory spec. After some 22k miles, the tire have worn evenly. The front alignment specs are off a tad. However, after the same said mileage, the front tires have also worn very evenly.
