I'd get an alignment right away; if not on the same day, within the week. If you don't want to deal with lower control arms, then you might be better served starting at an inch of lowering and see if you like the way it performs at that height, and seeing how much negative camber you have in the rear vs. the front.
About an inch should put you in at around -2 degrees of rear camber, which is the upper limit of what I would want since the camber bolts up front will max out at around -2 degrees. Ideally, I'd like more front camber than rear, but if you can't adjust it, you do what you can.
