Running two different sets of springs
Ok,
So I jsut installed the eibach pro kit for the front of my car 1inch drop, and I still have the aspec rear setup installed, ran out of time yesterday, but I like how it looks, 1inch front .75ish in the rear, it give it a nice rake look. Does anything think this is a problem since they are two different sets of springs? I think it would be ok since the spring ratios for either same set or differents sets always differ from front to rear anyways. Let me know what you guys think??

I doubt it will have much of a negative effect, but you have to remember; even though the spring rates differ from front to rear within a brand's set, it is still a SET. The manufacturer designed the front and rear springs to work together and create balance under acceleration, braking, and cornering. I would also NEVER reccommend riding on mismatched dampers (which you may or may not be doing ???), as they are an even more critical system in the vehicle's handling and balance characteristics. Also, you may not feel the effects now, but who knows what may happen when you add other components, ie. BBK or RSB.
