you can, its not much more than 1" drop if it even is but it definately helps with handling. id go with their struts too if you werent planning on different ones

fix... i just read bout ss/sc springs being 2" lower but that could be an exaggeration. more input needed

you should see between a 1" to 1.5" drop with the ss/sc springs.
You should be able to pick up a set from the classifieds section.

also, this has been discussed eleven billion times already, please used the search tool next time.

Yes if you can find a good deal on them <$60. its better then paying $160-$300 for aftermarket ones.

I made a thread about this last week. I'm going with the ss/sc springs. But I am also going with the rear sway bar.
The drop should be about an inch from what everyone says, but the handling should imporve a lot.

one guy on said it was 1.23" all around drop and it improved the handling a great deal. i just put on progress springs and a progress rear sway bar on my sc and it's freakin awesome. the improvement in handling is very noticeable. if doing this for any other model with the sc springs and sway bar the handling should increase a great deal as well.

watch taking off the sway bar connecting rod (not sure if that is the proper name) u will need a wrench on the back side and socket n rachet/wrench on the front too to get it off. i ended up having my cousin do mine and he poped out the ball pressed bolt and now i am w/o a funtioning swaybar lol
