They will blow eventually, but it can be done. The lower the springs the faster they will blow.

You're going to be in there anyway changing out springs, might as well go ahead and replace the struts while you're at it. A set of KYB struts is about $200 off eBay or RockAuto.

The KYB are rated for up to a 1.5" drop, what I had with my Tein springs.

I was assuming you had stock shocks, on the KYB's you should be good to lower 2 inches (tien's. most likeyl?).
