Yes you can, dont bother what other say about coilovers, if you use the car on the road.

Tanabe claims 2,5/2,7kg/mm which is 30% above stock springs and the F/R balance of the stock setup is kept. Lowering is 20-25mm which is still acceptable for gas shocks. I think it will be good match. Definitive better as stock 25year old tired springs. I use similar springrates (apex) and with this setup can hit also very bad (also gravel) roads without any hesitation.

For occasional track use and very good roads i would choose 4/3kg/mm setup which is more understeery but stabler under gas. Shame is the espelir springs which alows the use of longstroke shocks have 40mm lowering which is def. to much.
