yea you do cuz control arms doesnt affect ur suspension travel..springs on the other hand do and u also put front tires into what is called negative chamber..thats where the tire leans in or out ... kinda like when u see a truck laying frame and the tries lean in thats negative chamber... and with control arms that doesnt happen its just lowered

a smaller spring needs to be stiffer to support the weight so the coil is usually a little bigger so the spring rate increasses hince the stiffer ride. if u use a arms the spring cup is moved so u use the stock spring and keep the stock ride.
