Yes but I would not recommend it. I had skunk2 coilovers on my civic with stock shocks and the shocks blew out in a month or two. Driving with blown shocks sucks.

they don't "blow up" as in explode, but they are worn out 100 times faster than normally when you lower your car, meaning they will not dampen when you drive over bumps, and your car will just keep bouncing, sometimes (if big bumps/potholes) your tires will leave the ground and not have traction to the road surface, this is why good performance shocks/dampers are important
