Yes. In fact it's preferable to use shocks that are meant for lowered cars because putting lowering springs will usually cause your stock shocks to blow pretty quickly. Just research what kind of drop you want (how low) and find a set of shocks that can handle it

I think he's asking 2 questions...

Yes, you should use aftermarket shocks(or in your case struts) with most lowering springs.

For your second question, NO using Koni shocks will NOT lower the car more for your application. Your car uses a McPherson type suspension which means the Koni's are INSERTS, not a full bodied strut. This means you are going to have to gut your stock struts and replace the insert with the Koni. On '92-'00 Civic, they use double wishbone suspension and have shocks. The Koni's offer ride height adjustment on the shock BODY by using moveable circlips. However, for a McPherson strut, this is not possible.
