bilsteins are the same part number for lowered or normal hieght. You are thinking of other bands. some people run the fox body struts on lowed cars. bilstein has the same part # for both.
for the hd's the part numbers are.
v36-4138-h3 up front
be5-6418-h0 out back
you can run sports or race for higher spring rates but on a steet car the HD's are proably the way to go.

V36-4138-H3 up front struts is what I have. They may have changed part numbers cause about the time I bought mine, three or four years ago, they combined a couple struts that were the same but listed as regular and sporty.
BE5-6418-H0 out back shocks... (with bloomin' onion)
They have "variable valving", whatever that means but they handle your car at stock height and they are just as good at a lowered height.

I would not do the last two.
I would put it together try to get you alinment close by eyeballing it. then take it for a drive. if you don't have bump steer leave that alone.
as long as the tie rod stays at the same angle as the control arm bump steer will not be bad.
the x2 balljoint adjusts you roll center for lowring but take the tie rod out of relation with the a-arm and it makes you need the bump steer kit most likely.
on a street car I would not do this at only 1.5 drop. you roll center is not even really that affected from what I have read till over 1" drop.
