Sorry for all the questions, but this is the first car I'm modding. Will I need an alignment after the installation of the springs? Finally, how much should I expect to pay for the installation.

you'll be fine with the springs/shocks combi unless u drive like crazy, then, u may wanna save up for the full coilover set up. but if i were u, i'll save some for the aftermarket shocks (not available yet) cuz the stockies will not hold the aftermarket springs forever.
