So I'm pretty sure my passenger rear strut is going on me as every time I go over a bump I hear a rattle from there, also the ride isn't as smooth. I have been trying to search for struts but can't really find anything on it. I also figure if I'm going to replace the strut I should get new suspension as well. For suspension I'm pretty sure I'm going to get Tein S-Tech lowering springs but I don't know what I should get as far as struts? Should I order OEM ones from a dealer? I'm not too sure how to go about this.

If you're going to get all new struts and springs, you might as well just get a full coilover setup. It's a tad bit more expensive, but you can adjust a lot of stuff with them. Check out the GB for the Megan ones

Definitely agreed. Go coilovers for about 200 bucks more than what you'll pay for replacing with springs and struts.

If I didin't plan on getting a newer car in a few years and my car was in better nic I would, but for now my first concern is the struts and seconds is the springs. How much is it for the strut, does anyone know?

The full set of struts is about $200 so about $50 a piece; I'd recommend KYB GR-2 struts - they're pretty much OEM but cost way less. That's what most of us have in our cars once our stock struts go.

Yea I went on their site but I couldn't figure out how to order from them, I guess I'll give it another look.

You can't order directly from them as far as I know but you can get them from here cheap: http://www.kyboutlet.com. That's where I bought my fronts from.
