Default Coil over springs

Hi,
I was looking around ebay and I keep seeing coilover springs like these:

For like 20-30 dollars. My question is can I remove the adjusters and use the springs on the stock shocks? Just curious!

You'd be better off with some springs like H&R race and Neuspeed race, but they both are stiff and your struts are going to blow after a while.

Cheap coilovers = bumpy *** rite = uncomfortable = waste of money. I bought some crapy *** coil overs once..50$...handled really well, but was uncomfortable like crazy...my *** never stuck to my seat and my head would hit the roof lol.

cheap coil-overs suck unless you spend some grip. I went with 2.5drop springs nd kybs, but iam going to go with something else later.
