You loose that amount of travel in your suspension. You could get some bottoming of the strut and harsh ride. The height you buy is what you have
2. Buy a ROW setup or Bilstine strut set not adjustable. They are made to ride lower as a set. Better ride than just the spring because you still have all the travel and the pistons are designed for the ride level you end up with. The ride will be stiffer. you should not experience any bottoming. Again you get about 1" lowering.
3. You buy an adjustable strut set. There is a wide range of these. The spring perch is adjustable. The strut is designed with more valves and better baffle so it controls the oil flow in multiple levels and both directions. Some manufactures sell different springs to adapt to the ride or performance you want. You can change the height of the ride based on driving or ride preference. Most have 20 to 36 hydraulic settings to soften the rate. They can be as smooth as your original strut or race ready and very stiff.

The best way to control your ride height and maintain quality suspension tuning is with coilovers.
