Yes, they can slam it. However, it depends on the length on the springs.

Why are you going to put money into it if your just going to get rid of it?

Thats basicly throwing the money away.

so then throw some ebay specials on it.

$50, slam it. It will ride like **** either way, no reason to blow that money on GC's.

I sure as hell wouldn't.

the hell with that, just get a wheel cutter and cut 5-6 coils from your stock springs. if it's still not low enough, cut more coils. all of this is FREE, to get that dumped hella flush look.

But, this will work. Do it!

Hell, just toss the springs out altogether. Then you'll really be slammed.
I don't understand why you just don't let the next owner worry about the ride height.
