Welcome to the madness. Use the search function and you will find the answers to all lifes mysteries. Or just browse the suspension reviews to find what you need. There is tons of useful info here but starting threads for stuff like this doesn't work well. Read the faqs and stickys. Good luck.

Eibach Pro-kit will give you 1.5" drop, and the Sportlines will give you about 2.5"

I was on both, and I personally regretted the Pro-kit because to me it was just not a huge difference.

Honestly, everyone will tell you to go with a full coilover setup as it allows for the most adjustability for the money spent.

If you got springs (Tein, Eibach, Ksport, H&R, and more are good options), you would have to pair them with an aftermarket shock as OEM shocks are not meant to handle a lowering spring.

Most people will say just go with a full coilover because after you pony up for the spring and strut combo, you are basically spending the same amount of money as a cheap full coilover setup.

You seem new to the whole suspension setup game so I would recommend that you search around on here, see pictures of what looks good to you, and try to replicate that look based on your financial situation.

What Fast said, do some more research to figure out what you actually want, then you can make a more informed decision.

If you go with lowering springs, you need to pair them with aftermarket shocks.

Also, coilover sleeves and shocks are another option.
