a self adjusting strut cannot adjust for rebound. when using a lowered spring, the standard piston length strut like a Bilstein will have a tendency to bottom out. the compression may become tighter due to auto valving, but due to bottoming out from a lowered spring, the rebound is not auto adjust, and will still provide that "ricer bounce" once the spring starts to rebound.
in the case of a tighter spring with standard height, it wont hit the bumpstops by maintaining factory travel and height. but with the tighter spring, again, rebound becomes an issue and the car will bounce.
in comparison to a stock type strut, the car wont bounce as much considering the ability to adjust for compression, but the rebound will overpower an auto valving strut in most cases.
auto valving doesnt mean it's better than an external adjustable on the street.
i dont see how your line of reasoning would make an external adjustable street strut less streetable than an autovalve shock... especially since all of the struts mentioned are designed for street applications, not racing.
