I need new struts and new springs so i figured i would go ahead and lower it at this time... what products do you guys suggest? i dont know how low i want to go, just to give it a more agressive look.

Eibach Prokit - $ 235.XX
KYB AGX's - $518.XX
New strut mounts all around - $ 120.XX
= $873 + change.
I absolutely love the ride, i have my struts set 3 front and 6 rear. Fronts go to 4 and rears to 8. I'll be selling this probably in 2 years as i will be going all out for the Tein SS coilovers with EDFC.

I have a 2002 ls sport and have repalced the struts many times already. I lowered the car first by using coilovers and all that did was dent my fenders really bad and blow a few sets of struts. This time around I switched to Eibach Lowering Springs and a brand new set of Gabriel Ultra Gas Struts which I got from Autozone. It rides better but its still blowing struts. 3 days after I re-did the rear of the car, the left strut started leaking oil. Do the standard OEM strut replacements work with lowering springs and if so, what am I doing wrong. If not, what is the better way to go?

No, OEM struts DO NOT work with lowering springs nor coilovers. they blow out the stock struts just like you have experienced. Heres some struts to look at...
