Has anyone every run two different sets of shocks, one brand up front and a different for the rears, with the same springs on all four. I have Koni's on now but want to put the ECS Bilstein coilover kit on the rear and keep the Koni's on the front. I happy with the drop in the front but not the rear, so I want to be able to adjust the rears using the ECS Bilstein coilover kit. I'm running Intrax springs. Any know of any negatives, or problems doing this.

Default Well..

If the ride height is your biggest concern, then what you're proposing would work just fine.

However wouldn't it just be easier to pick up new springs? It'll be less expensive, and you can find a set of springs with the height you're looking for instead. This way you won't have any of the negative effects that mixing shock types would introduce.
