Alignment needed after? Just looking for direction on my do it myself project. Thank you!!!

Yes. You will need an alignment. And hopefully from a shop that has done C/Os in the past.
As for the DIY, it's pretty much "take out a part, install the part that looks most like it".

Thank you, Im trying to get over the fear of messing it up. And im a noob. I probably set the coilover to my height first correct? And install fronts at same time? reason i was hoping somene had a sticky on this. I would like to know as much as possible before attempting. Anything else you could give me? Thank you

You'll need to install all 4 corners at the same time, you change the geometry of the suspension enough that you can do half and half.
Socks has a good thread on the process of doing a lowering spring install somewhere. It's a good read, and addresses the entire process. Except the adjustments.
I'd advise that you dial the heights in to match the factory pieces, then dial down your drop while they are off the car. It can be a bit of a PITA to change them on the car especially as your are lifting and lowering.
Your toe should be good out of the box, but your camber will be a bit more complicated. That's the part you will need to get the alignment for.

You would be surprised.

It was on a VW one of my tech shops inspected. It's real.

That's some good woodwork skills/engineering. I'm sure it was well though out. lol
