Any time someone says "trust me" I am immediately wary of them.
Do you know the difference between a worn out oil filled stock strut and a street coilover that needs servicing?
Here's some insight for starters, this advice while lacking citations is sound and you'll find that it corraborates advice on struts in general:

Also, that "80,000 miles" business is not with your lowering springs taken into consideration. Additionally, while that strut may not blow until 80k miles, you sure as hell would want to replace it long before that if performances means anything to you.
By the way, coilovers ARE struts.
