Are you looking to lower? If so decide on it you want coilovers or a set of springs paired with some good shocks. Coilovers you can adjust them up and down to a height you prefer (FF's has the most height adjustability).

The struts won't really change the ride height as that is what springs do. The HP series are non-adjustable versus the illuminas being fully adjustable in dampening. The illumina is the better strut only because they are adjustable to what your needs are but they are quite a bit more expensive. I am going with the HP series just because i don't need the adjustment and know that the HP ride perfect for my daily commute.
