Default Picked up some suspension parts

So I took a road trip and picked up some goodies yesterday. Here's a list of what I grabbed.

07 GT500 front struts with lower camber mounts
Boss 302 LS springs
Boss 302 LS rear sway bar w/links and bushings
19x9.5 chrome AMR wheels +48mm offset
Koni blue 1.5 drop springs (I believe they are koni's, but I have to check)

So now I'm looking on help with what springs to use and what tire size for said springs. Unfortunately I know the 1.5 drop springs will require some more mods to keep the front end in shape and the pinion angle out back in check. But will the 500 struts with boss springs all around help me over my base V6 equipment? Will the boss springs lower the car at all? Sounds like they may lift the rear a little even. Also believe Ill need new camber plates to run the 500 struts anyway, correct? I can get ahold of some Pirelli corsa's in a 285/35/19, two are used and two are new, and come with 3 stock Pirelli's from a track pack GT car which I believe are 255/xx/19.

What do I have here? A bunch of junk, or something to help me on the way to some better handling?

I would recommend an adjustable panhard bar like this to center the rear end when you lower it.
