The information I think you're looking for is on page 20 of this updated F-Sport Brochoure:

i assume the drop is before the springs settles; all IS spring info from http://www.f-sport.com/#
Essentially the same drop that Eibach lists for Eibach 350 springs (1.0"/0.8").

Absolutely, this is what majority of people are doing. My blue springs are sitting in the garage already.
