Default Koni Yellows/Stock Springs?

As stated in the subject heading, I was wondering if it's possible to pair Koni yellow adjustable shocks with existing stock springs (on a '99 Accord). I'm looking to firm up the ride just a TAD without having to resort to switching to aftermarket springs.

Advice/opinions appreciated.

Yep, you can do that. The increase in performance may even eventually sway you towards replacing your stock springs for some sport springs to go a step further in making your car handle better.

Or you could just get both at the same time to make things easier on yourself since it's the same amount of work whether you replace the springs or use stock ones.

Thanks again, jschmid. Actually since it's the wife's car, I'm not wanting to sacrifice the stock ride quality. (We're both in agreement that my Integra rides stiff enough on Konis and H&Rs.)

yes, the full soft setting is designed to work perfectly with the stock spring rates...
