You don't have to lower it if you don't want to but with lower profile tires, it makes your car seem like it's been jacked up, the fender gap is worst. Lowering will only get it back to factory height, so do it.
NO, only if you want to.
No, only if you are going with brand names like HRE's, Carlsson, Kinesis, etc, there's other companies like DPE, Iforged, and DCR that are around $3500-4500 w/ tires.
