Default I'm upgrading my suspension

I've got my 19" wheels on order expected to arrive this week, and now it's time to order springs! I've got it narrowed down between Roush (1" drop)and FRPP (1.5" drop)with Tokico shocks and struts. So, I have a couple of questions.

1) Do either of these require a camber adjustment? The FRPP drops .5" more, so I'm concerned they might throw the alignment off more than Roush.
2) How does ride quality compare between Roush and FRPP? Anyone used both enough to make a comparison?
3) Am I going to run into problems if I don't upgrade any other suspension components, or are springs and shocks and struts enough?

In my case a 1.5" drop required camber correction.

With the suspension mods I got (see sig) the guys that installed the components had to go to -1.0 camber on the front wheels with the 1.8" drop. Rear wheels of course aren't going anywhere because they're on a solid rear axle.

I got the BMR lowering kit which is similar to the FRPP and my alignment was way off after lowering. I also needed the adjustable panhard bar to re-center my rear axle.It was off approx. 1/2 inch.
