Yes they can, I have stock springs on my QA1's, but you need to buy either an modified stock spring cup of one of the billet pieces from BMR or similar.

I run the stock perches on QA1 shocks, it has worked well like that for 6 or so years. It is correct that all you need to do is remove some material and make the inside diameter larger. I believe I used a die grinder to do this. A word of advice, get the thrust bearing kit with the shocks, it is almost impossible to make on car adjustments without them.
