it only drop 1/2 inch, so it should look the same.

as long as it doesn't look higher than stock, i think it's fine. it really is hard to see if you're lowered with rb springs because they are so conservative. Plus you also have to remember than the springs need a few days to settle. If you tightened your upper control arms with the car on the ground, you should be fine.
shocks won't go about as to adjust the height of the car. Only springs or coilovers adjust the height.

I've been running Koni's with RB springs for quite a while now. They settled in at 14.25" from center of hub to fender lip in front and just a smidge over 14" in the rear. Stock, new was 15.25" all the way around.

With my Konis and RB springs, i have two fingers between the tire and the fender. I noticed more drop after the konis installed, so i think the shocks may be shorter themselves.
