Well.. heater hose, yes. lower perch no... so if you just wanted to lower the back, any shock will work. Another option for the front would be a coilover sleeve.. but seriously. Koni's are worth the money

And by the time you buy shocks that aren't as good a damper for lowered cars, lets's say Bilstein's for $349 a set, and a set of Ground Controls for $429 or so... you are basically as the same price, even a little more, as a set of Koni's and are left with no damping adjustment and no ability to tune the car, and shocks not meant to damp the higher rate springs in a lesser amount of travel.
