I thought it was the springs that lower the car?

Unless you get height adjustable coilovers, the shocks or struts wont affect ride height

Terrible; the stock shocks are not valved high enough to work well with high linear-rated spring rates (Eibach Race Springs).

Struts don't lower the ride height. The springs do.
