Control arms are recommended (UPR, of course) but completely separate from the shock/strut/spring upgrade. So that's not a pressing issue. I personally installed springs on my car, and then shocks & struts about a year later. I'm a budget modder!
Not with the stock style strut mounts because there's not really any adjustment there. Only the toe, which needs to be set when you install the springs.
But you certainly could align it again after the struts. I didn't.

That's a long time lol. They would probably never last that long in my city with these roads. How was the ride quality?
Ride quality was fine. Running lowering springs on stock dampeners makes the suspension oscillate quickly, but it's not a problem. It just works better on upgraded shocks & struts.
Yeah I started with EiBach pro springs on my 2013, then it got a bit nuts and its got Whiteline full suspension over haul literally everything :P Got a bit overkill but it handles soooo good hehe

I heard reviews from people that the springs would make it feel crappy because they werent paired with the proper dampeners so that kinda talked me out of only getting springs.

The thing is, "crappy" is subjective. Can you lower on springs only? Yep. Do I recommend it? Nope.
