You answered your own question, if you buy cheap stuff and try to drop your car it will ride like shit, been there done that. save the money and get a good set of coils (
Tein Basics/Super Streets) you will be very happy with your purchase.

Give them a week or so to break in if they still ride the shit you're screwed.

No, we don't know what you mean, if you want real help, start with using better English.

Not all struts can handle being on lowered cars especially the cheapo no name sounds made up brands. Reputable lowering springs + cheap struts usually dont end well. If you're going to lower your car even a daily beater do it right or you'll be doing it over and over again.
