#18186, "Is it a bad idea to mix springs?"




          

I have Teins on all around but don't like the drop in the front. I want to put the dropzones back on only in the front. Is doing this a bad thing, meaning would/should it cause any problems?

I think as long as both sides (front 2 or rear 2) are the same, it shouldn't cause any problems. I had mine like that for about a month or two...but didn't have any problems!

the best handling might be had when both spring rates are the same (regardless of the manufacture), given that you are probably using the same struts on all 4 corners. but I don't see any big problems in mixing springs like that.
