Weird suspension question

I'm just know learning about GS mods and wondering if this may be weird but if RCA's are for suspension geometry correction can't your run them on stock suspension and get an actual drop?

I know ppl run them with coils but I just had to ask... Cart before the horse type question...

Short answer as I understand it is yes. I asked this very question a while ago about aftermarket springs and here is the answer I got. I don't see any reason why it would not apply to stock springs as well.

The only bottoming out I see is if you drive too fast and hit a dip...but then again you're not suppose to do that in the first place
