IS it hard to get a good aligment with lowering springs? What about in your streeing, does it pull to one side more? Would anyone not recomend me to do this or should I just go for drop spindles?

Lowering springs will alter your suspension geometry, so alignment may be a bit of an issue, especially if the bushings have not been changed recently. Also, bump steer may become more apparent. I run lowering springs on my car, and alignment has not been an issue, but bump steer has become more pronounced.
Drop spindles avoid this since it raises the mounting point for the wheel. Since the wheel itself is raised, the suspension/steering geometry is not changed, so you should not see any adverse affects.
Tires will play into how the car handles, and how bad it will follow the contours of the road.
