Need to replace struts ... Need Help

Ok guys here's the deal,

I have an 02 and its lowered to rest slightly above the wheels (19" rims, 35 tire). I have a bad strut in the back that needs replacing, obviously I'm going to replace both.

The car was lowered before I bought it so I have no idea if it was done correctly. My questions is what struts can I get that will retain the same stance? Hoping you guys can at least point me in the right direction.

Struts have nothing to do with the ride height.
