    No problem unless your springs are worn out. It would suck to use the old springs and have only a marginally better ride.

    Buy the cvpi and cut 1/2 to 1 coil. Use KYB or other shock.

    I bought my car with old springs cut 1 coil and newer shocks - 1st thing I changed!
    However, I did not cut the new Moog springs, and it sits to high. Rides much better though
