You will be fine on JOMS or AP coils or lowering springs.
You need spigot rings to take you to 57.1

I had these exact spec on mine, and it had a reasonable drop. They'll need the screw mod (search for it) but will be ok.  :happy2:

Search for it..? As above..

It's where you remove a screw and bend a tab in the upper wheel arch out of the way.
