Struts won't set the level of the car. They set the damping.

correct, the car will sit the same, but boy will it feel better. if your old struts are super-blown, they might be sagging a bit during compression and rebound, but some new ones are truly your best bet.

In the old days if you had plain old hydraulic shocks and replaced them with Gas shock then it might alter ride height a little as you now have something pushing the shock back up but in a modern car with gas charged shock stock, NOPE.
