   Yes you can lower your car on standard shocks, but they wont last as long. Also the ride will not be great. If you shop around there are some really good value suspension kits out there

   No problem
   
   Changing the rear shocks is very simple. The most difficult bit you'll find is adjusting the torsion bars, theres plently of guides and info on here though to help you
