not unless you have a spring compressor...you may also be able to rent one...i wouldn't recommend putting in sport springs without replacing the stock shocks..

if you just want the look and would like to keep as smooth a ride as possible, i've heard that neuspeed is one of the better, softer springs...if you want a stiffer ride for better performance, you can go with h&r, or koni..............shocks don't vary as much as the springs...i would go with bilstein or koni...

your stock shocks will die within a few months and you'll end up paying much more in installation to have the shocks replaced later on

a good spring compressor is a must, if you have general mechanical skills you can do it yourself

i will recommend H&R springs and Bilstein grooved shocks. it took me 3 hours to install the first time. after driving around a few days
i decided i wanted to go lower and dop the spring perch on the shocks and took about 25 min. per corner to remove and adjust. but that was done in a shop with lift and wall mount spring compressor
