You could, but lower, stiffer springs combined old worn out dampers that were designed for softer springs make for a pretty crappy ride.

if you cant afford shocks atm then just get springs, but eventually you will want new dampers... like after a month

Ohh I see. I might as well just suck up the height of my car until I can afford the shocks then.

You can do it but will need to replace the OE shocks sooner rather than later. I recommend doing a full swap with shocks to save on labor.

Thanks guys.
Any suggestions on what type of shocks & springs are a good combo? im looking to kill the gap between the fender & the wheel, or maybe a little more than that.
