I can help a little with lowering. I brought the front end of my 82 300CD down 3 inches and have 17" Mercedes wheels on it. See the picture in my signature.

For the sunroof liner, you have to open the roof about halfway and slide the liner in from the outside.

You probably have to remove the chrome rails to get the headliner back in properly. If so, dont' move the slotted screws at the front, they are the height adjustment. Just take out the crosshead screws.
