yes you can just get lowering springs.

I ran 1.8inch Suspension techniques lowering springs on all corners for over 4yrs on stock shocks. Handled fine, looked fine.

springs if you just want to lower. coilovers if you want adjustability.

shocks are highly recommeded if you drop your car but it has been done numerous times on stock shocks that have lasted a few years.

get a good spring/shock combo

Before I got my tein ss coilovers I ran 2-2-1/2" lowering springs on stock struts for 3 years without any problems. When I took the struts out to install the coilovers they weren't leaking or anything. So it can be done with descent results if you are just using it for daily driving.
