I don't think paint cracking will happen as long as they heat it before/when rolling. If you take as look at the picture I uploaded above you can see what he is holding in his hand: a heating gun

Felt almost unstable.. With drop, I got that nice, stiff, comfortable feel back.. It's perfect.. I'm itching to lower the front a little more, but I'm gonna leave it for now.. Right now my floor to fender heights are 26 ½ Front, 27 ¼ Rear.

Great to hear and glad it all worked out! Yes leave it for now and enjoy it, get a feel for the car for a few weeks and lower it then..that's what I'll be doing
