    You mean put the spring on the adjustable part? Rarely will the adjustment be on the top. By the way, those are coil-over sleeves not coil-overs.

    To answer your question, yes you can put different springs on coil-over sleeves. I would suggest a spring rate matched to the shocks dampening and rebound characteristics though.
