quick question

i kno this is probably a stupid question but hell i was just wondering if it sounds like a decent idea.......suppose i bought those ebay coilovers for like 40 bucks and then took the springs that come with it off and put some tein s tech springs in there.....and after that pair that up with some illuminas? I kno it wouldnt be a good idea to compress the tein spring more than its 2.2" drop that it advertises, but i was just wondering if there would be any harm in doing that? thanks

Im trying really hard not to flame you right now...

First of all, standard lowering springs are MUCH larger than a coilover spring and would not fit in there.

Second, when adjusting the height on a coilover, you dont compress the spring.

It sounds like the only reason you want coilovers is so you can be low, just buy some GCs.
