Yes and this is very common to do. Not the best method but if you want to get low then it's something you do for very cheap.

pretty much half-assing your suspension

Agreed. But to someone who was thinking about putting coilovers on stock shocks, I assumed he didn't have a lot of money...so I provided the cheaper alternative to full coilovers.
