Installing 1.6 roller tip RR's with stock springs?

Is it ok to install my 1.6 roller tip RR's with the stock springs? I dont have a spring compressor on me, and me jes trying to fix the car right now(replacing old rocker arms cause 2 of them have already loosened up).

Is this ok?

Not a good idea, in my opinion. Stock springs are good for stock lifts. Going to a 1.6 increases the lift enough to cause coil bind.JMHO
