Be sure to load the suspension before tightening things up. Otherwise the suspension bushings will be preloaded at ride height.

Yes springs and struts at the same time....

Your (MY) is 2000?, might be ok if you have 5-10000 miles, and if it has 25-80000 miles they are N.G.

and if money is not a prob look into coilovers.... if you want to lower it a little or a lot
and total package performance
