Default Coilovers on lowering springs?

I doubt it would work/or be safe, but i was wondering if you could put coilovers on instead of lowering springs? My car came with Eibach lowering springs on it, and come winter I'm not going to want it lowered. We get a lot of snow here, so if it is possible and safe, I'd rather do that then try and drive through 3 feet of snow on lowering springs.

thanks.

Not going to work at all. Why even do this? If you have coilovers why not just put them on?

I don't have coilovers. I have lowering springs that where on when i got it. That's it. When winter comes its going to suck.

Haha... yes it should. The question shouldnt have even been asked considering your circumstances. If you currently have lowering springs and need your ride height adjusted for winter you only had 2 options... 1. buy adj. c/o's or 2. buy used stock suspension.
