i'd think camber and alignment would be dramatically effected by just lowering the car 1"?
You won't have to change anything else as long as you can live with the alignment. Getting a front/rear camber kit would be required if you want more adjustability. But yea I'd wait until after to see if you want to get the camber kit.

As far as springs lowering the life of the oem shocks, you probably won't see a difference unless you're planning to track or autox. If/when the stock shocks give way, you can probably get new ones cheap here or just go the coilover route.
