Default koni yellow without G/C???

can you use normal lowering spring with koni yellows?
are they different from G/C + koni set up?
i dont want to deal with setting up the right corner weight .
and mostly will be for the streets.
i have omni power "track" coilover and its too rough of a ride.
i need a shock/spring combo for street. i coudnt find any place to buy this.
help me out .. i know this has been covered million times but i coudnt find any thanks guys

Shouldn't be an issue. Koni's come with OEM style spring perches... aftermarket drop springs should be made to work with the stock spring perches. If you're buying the Koni's used, just make sure that all the hardware comes with them.

Edit and PS
Typically the big issue with a rough ride on the street is that folks run their cars too low... You end up riding on the bumpstops and it sucks. Another possible issue is too much compression valving causing a shitty ride. And the last typical issue is the rear spring rate... Go over 400-500# and it can get tough to live with (all assuming that you've got the right valving and enough suspension travel).

I had them with Eibach springs on my prelude and it was almost like driving a stock car lowered, just a little firmer.

Koni's need an adapter ring to work with GC sleeves. A new set of Koni's should come with all the stuff you need to run them with OEM style springs. Here's a link that I found with a picture of the standard hardware:
