Sure. If you want them blown. But maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones that claim they ride slammed on stock shocks without a problem. There's this other thread where a guy just blew his KYB AGXs.

They'll be fine, just lower it down on to the bump stops and your dampers won't need to do anything.

You CAN. I wouldn't recommend it. I rode on "eBays" for a while on stock shocks. Never blew any shocks. The ride kinda sucked though. Had to go super slow over certain bumps or else my car would bounce all over the place.
I eventually went with the Koni/GC setup which was orgasmic. $30-$50 compared to $500-$1000 though. Depending on a few things.. But remember, you get what you pay for. Except problems when you buy cheap things.
