Has anybody ever mixed and matched sets of front springs and sets of rear springs? I'd like to keep my Neuspeed race springs in the front and get a set of springs for the rear that'll provide for less of a drop (for when I have heavy cargo) and a more aggressive stance. Any positives and negatives, etc... I do NOT want coilovers, so any other insight will be appreciated. Thanks!

I personally am not a big fan of this idea. You throw off your suspension's geometry bigtime.

however, it is doable, and if you mostly have cargo in the back, it should work out mostly okay.

You'll have an understeering pig though.

You might want to consider some custom cut springs then.

My problem is that I just can't find any springs that are higher in the back! When I bought my race springs, this is what I expected...I guess because my H&R race springs did that for me on my Prelude. I've heard that the Eibach sportlines appear higher in the back, but I have yet to see a picture that demonstrates this...
