you can but everyone would recommend that you switch to KYB's or some other strut/shock because the stockers suck ***** and will blow quicker.

Not true...

Search around. There are many folks dropped on stock shocks/struts with no issues.

It is not recommended that you drop only the front though. Drop all 4 corners for correct ride height and control.

Always drop all 4. Never only drop front or rear.

Look into the Eibach PROkit

I've got a PROkit and Monroe Sensa-Tracs waiting to be installed
