Lowering With Stock Shocks and Struts

I'm getting eibach sportlines. They say a drop of 2 inch in front and 2.5 inch in rear. Will it be alright to just get the springs and wait on Fe5 shocks and struts? I'm on Fe1 right now. Will this be alright, till say summer? Cause I have other things I want to order right now for Christmas..

so FE1 struts can handle a drop for some time without turning into pogo sticks?? really? i found a guy with megan springs local i can get for $80, I could really just slap em on for a year or two with no problems? I would usually never consider it because i did in my last car and blew the struts in like 7000 miles.
