Default I don't recommend it.

These cars are a minimum going on 6 years old. With that kind of age and mileage the shocks are sure to need replacing even without considering the lowering springs you're thinking about.

Do it right the first time and get springs and shocks together. You'll save time, money, and a lot of hassles in the long run.

Default it's not that bad ... but still not recommended

the springs will cause the shocks to wear out prematurely.

Your best bet is to replace springs/shocks at the same time, considering you are in there anyways
