Which aftermarket shocks best for stock struts, while still maintaining a good drop?

I tried looking this question up but couldnt find the specific answer. I was wondering which lowering springs would work best with stock struts. The wheel gap of my GXE is killing me with my new 350Z rims but I dont have the cash for shocks and struts . Im getting struts in like 2 months but I cant wait for shocks. I know Progressive are the most agressive drop so I would think that they would kill your struts the most. I believe Eibach are the least drop. But for the 18's I want a pretty large drop while still being able to drive through crap city roads. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and sorry for a repeat thread,
Alec

All will give the same drop, but don't count on your struts lasting for long...at all...

I have H&Rs on the front only on mine for about 10k and the stock struts are holding up fine for now.
