Sure. I have a mates car that has tokico shocks and ground control kit...which are both only about 2 years old (f/all k's about 15000) it is noticably softer than when he first got it. The car was sitting just above the tyres.
Not with all shocks but you have to remember when you adjust the preload of a linear spring your also causing wear to the shock. ANY SPORTS SHOCK and non-"coilover" set up will wear quicker when used with a linear spring. By preloading a spring you increase its recoil or retraction force thus wearing the valves in the shocks much quicker. A suspension specialist from KYB said to me specificially in an email to NOT USE the ground control type kits.
<e240 Edit: no need lah - keep it civil> You ALSO have to pay close attention to the maximum rate and rebound that the shocks can handle. Remember most sports shocks are not designed for an adjustable spring perch, excluding the koni yellow's; however they do come with one already, so the valving would be stronger etc.
I also stay i would recommend...it wasn't an order...just a recommendation from personal experience.
