Ok, here's the deal. I have been driving with a broken front left spring for awhile now.
:stupid:

A pair of stock replacement springs for the front are gonna run me around 60$ without shipping, I've been looking around ebay and have found a fairly cheap set of coilovers. I am not really looking to lower my car as it will mostly be used during the winter months to drive in the snow. The ebay coilovers are looking to be 85$ with shipping, something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-87-88-89-Honda-Accord-Prelude-Coilover-Coil-Springs_W0QQitemZ8074939667QQihZ019QQcategoryZ3865 6QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The question is, am I going to be ok using the stock struts and shocks with this coilover kit? I plan on keeping it at stock height if possible.

I wouldnt get them. They will blow your shocks if there not gone already. There is also no indication as to what the spring rates are.
