not a good idea at all, your ride is going to suck ass, different spring rates and all the other factors will make you wish you wouldn't have been a cheap ass and just waited to get a full set.

Plenty of people run different spring rates front/rear. However they usually do it with some strategy...

That's what I was implying, that different brands of coil overs aren't gonna be matched very well. I know that people run different rates front and rear, but generally in the same brand name and with some actual reason. Not just cause they are cheap and might work.

i still say the brand wont matter.. if they are both of equal quality.. its NOT them being a differant brand that will matter.. if anything it is them being differant quality that would matter...

I've got 450 front, 350 rear rght now, and I'mthinking of bumping the rears up to 400 or better... It's all personal preference if you know the spring rates.
