lowering springs

hey, i want to lower my car atleast an inch, however i am very short on cash. i want to install a set of lowering springs with a camber kit, but with that do i absolutely have to install new shocks? i know this topic has been covered before, but can i install new springs with my stock shocks?

you can install new springs with old shocks, but the car will ride worse than stock and quickly start riding so poorly you won't be able to stand it.
