I dont believe the shock will lower the car. However, if you didnt know already, the car can be lowered on the stock suspension by cutting some bushings. Its safe and a ton of people have done it, including me. As far as the shocks go, Bilsteins are a GREAT value. I run the Bilstein sport shocks with Hotchkis swaybars, metal endlinks, lowered on the stock front bolts, and lowered in the back by lowering bolts from WCC. I love it. Handles like nothing else I have ever ridden in.
