Yep. Lowering on stock J-body struts is dangerous and stupid.

best bang for your buck, if you're lookin for adjustable struts with a subtle drop. if you dont care about having adjustability in ride firmness or softness then your next best bet would be to go with Tokico HP's. they'll handle the same drop as AGX, only they wont be adjustable, and they're typically cheaper. also, if you haven't yet, look into strut mounts. its always a good idea to put in new ones whenever you do this kinda work as they are a wear item, so its better to do it now then later, if you can. i severely regret not doing mine when i did struts.
