I have been thinkin for awhile now about either droping the front 1/2an inch, or the fron 1 inch and the back 1/2 an inch. Good idea, or bad idea? This would be for ride comfort and look.

The ride will be stiffer, meaning you will feel more bumps. I don't know of any kit that only lowers it a half inch. You probably wouldn't notice that anyway. Depends on how much you lower as to how it will ride. But in general the ride will get stiffer, handling improves, and I also think it looks much better.

Yes...just dont get sportlines or else you'll be investing in new struts after a few months...plus the ride will suck *** since its like a 2"+ drop...i'd go with the regular Eibachs since they lower 1.5" and the ride is still comfortable in my opinion.

The Mopar lowering springs sound like a good way to go if you don't want to kill your struts or your ride. They only lower the car 1", but I haven't talked to anyone who's installed them yet.
