They are stiffer (front, anyways), and thus fine for lowering.
Lots of people have used them without issues, myself included.
The only real issue is that the back has too much travel and not enough stiffness...but unless you're going to drop $1000+ on a coilover set, this is your best bet.
$175 shipped for a set of 4 on eBay.

Pretty much any strut will say that it's not meant to be used with lowering springs, because the lowering springs will lessen the life of the strut. Doesn't mean they won't work fine. | |

I have springtech struts in my car. They have a lot of dampening, and are made by Sprint (which also makes lowering springs) but i'm not sure on the dampening rates. Its pretty stiff with just stock springs though  I like it... a lot.
I'll probably get KYB's for my beater car though. | |
