Sportlines are sexy.... I don't think they would be too much of a drop with your 18's esp if your getting the bilstein's too.

you will be fine but 2" is pretty low. You will probably get some bump steer and maybe small caster/camber issues.

1.5 all the way around? .... would it look snug, low, and handle smooth?

if you can't find it somewhere on the internet shoot emann0007 a pm with your email addy and ask him to send you his tutorial for springs / shocks struts (maybe control arms too). that way you can take a look at what you need to do before you get involved with it.
