suspension help

i'm trying to help a customer of mine out, he has an 03 gt coupe that he wants me to lower here at the shop. he will be using ford racing c-springs, but i noticed the other day when i was working on something else on the car, that one of his struts is blown out.. he doesn't want to spend much more money that what it's already going to cost to do the repairs his car needs along with the springs and brakes he wants to do, so the question is, (this is a DD, so he doesn't need spectacular handling or anything like that) he wants a decent set of struts that aren't going to blow out on him because of the ride height change. i heard somewhere that you can use fox struts on lowered newer models. how true is this? from what kind of drop can you expect to get good results from the shorter fox struts? please help me out, he doesn't want to spend a lot, but wants decent results.. thanks
