You can, but the springs are going to be cheap. It won't be a good setup at all. I would just save your money to do it right.

Do you spend more time looking at your car or spend more time driving it.

If you do invest in those coilovers, prepare to be sucked into a world of pain!..... in your wallet.

There goes your struts and abnormal tire wear.

Cut springs-
Pros: dropped look
Cons: very bouncy and rough ride, blown shocks quickly, no height or damper adjust, uneven springrates

Just springs-
Pros: dropped look, good performance
Cons: rougher, bouncier ride, blown shocks quickly, no major height or damper adjustability

Springs and Shocks-
Pros: great ride, best performance, dropped look, no maintenence
Cons: sometimes bumpier ride in places, no major height adjustability

Just coilover sleeves-
Pros: adjustable dropped look, OK performance
Cons: thread slip, blown shocks quickly, very harsh ride, no damper adjustability

Coilover sleeves and Shocks-
Pros: adjustable dropped look, better performance, semi smooth ride
Cons: thread slip, no damper adjustability

True Coilovers-
Pros: adjustable dropped look, great performance, damper adjustability, springs threaded directly on shock
Cons: some w/o damper adjustability

Others (airbags and dubs)
Pros: instant adjustability, smooth ride
Cons: for show, performance lacks, constant maintenance


You might want to consider a shock+spring combo. But im saving up for the full-coilover system. Tein Super Streets FTW!

Just save another 200 or so and you can get a decent setup like kyb gr2s and some eibach/h&r/neuspeed/spring/tein springs

[helofast]

just save and get some good springs that drop less than 1.5" and you wont have to worry about buying new struts or spending extra on a camber kit/tires

that's my problem.. i dont want to spend extra for just the springs. that 200 bucks, i could buy intake or cheap exhaust with that.

but i want my ride to go low prolly 2.5-3 inches drop

If you want to go that low for a DD then you need to save alot more money and get a good setup that can provide that drop with a good ride plus you will eventually need a camber kit to get your wheels aligned correctly. Im about 2.5" and now all my shocks are damn near blown but I knew that would happen before I went that low on kyb GR2. Choosing the right suspension takes patience. Look in the classified for the setup that Lemmonhead is selling, I drop his car with it and its ok, klinda stiff but you get shocks/springs/coils for a low price seeing that they are used.

There's no way you'll be able to go that low reliably for that amount of money.

Also, 200 for a cheap exhaust? A real cheap one, that's for sure.

Quality or cheap, take your pick.
