you can do it, but its probably going to be bouncy because the stock shocks cant handle a much stiffer spring. I did it for a couple weeks but got shocks as soon as I could. Also its more work because you have to remove and install springs twice. Id just save up and get both at the same time, or coilovers.

if the springs drop the car too low it wont be long before you blow your shocks out. especially if you live where the roads are not forgiving
