When I had mine fitter I only had it lowered 40mm. Anymore than that and it don't look right imo. Can't remember if I needed mine aligned as was ages ago but I would of thought so

If you're fitting them yourself I took a few pic's and gave a few pointers when fitting mine on my sticky build thread. It's on the last last 2 pages (I think) Mines a classic but they're fairly similar [emoji6]

I'd recommend getting some adjustable rear camber bolts too unless the coilovers you bought have adjustable rear top mounts . As lowering a car throws out the camber and there's no way to correct the camber with the oe rear bolts .Elbaich ones are only about £25 and yes I'd definitely get a 4 wheel alignment done afterwards , fella

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

yep 4 wheel allignment needed! worth the 100ish quid by miles
