push down on your car, if it bounces more than 1 or 2 times, your struts are blown. If not, its something else.

yeah we put some ground control coilovers on our 05 wit stock strut n they all blown after 6 month and we had an alignment on it 2 so we swaped it wit some tein type flex wit the EDFC n now it feel way better, really smooth ride i recommend it ;)

Your struts will be fine if you use springs with a *reasonable* drop. Ive gone almost 40k miles on lowering springs with stock struts. But you cant drop it 4 inches and expect the struts to be ok.
