The shocks will work fine, but you might not notice a difference in the drop.

You could try a race spring in the front. I dont know where you would get just front sprins, though.

u can try to ghetto rig your rear a little higher
putting something between the spring and tophat or the spring and the part of the shock where it sits

ya coilovers no..cuase they come in sets..and these springs are not even one year old..

No.

I wouldn't go investing a few hundred into new shocks just to 'hope' it will even out your car's ride.

Get coilovers if you want to be picky with your drop.

you can buy the front only if you so desire, they are sold as individual units.
