It will look great, that's for sure ...do a search on the forum and several articles about lowering springs.

Alignment run is possible, but i dun have the details. Maybe other sifu can comment. Any bad alignment even without lowering spring can also wear out your tyres unevenly. But do note that your bushes for sure wear out faster

changing from original 16' to 18' will not give u much tyre problem if u stay between the 3% rule. i believe with proper balancing, aligment and tyre rotation every 10,000km, u should not worry much on the tyre wear.

Anytime you lower a car, you MUST do an alignment job...cheaper than a new set of tires imho...

try it, you will never ever regret (except when it's time to change the tires)...hehehe
