Pretty happy with the stock springs up front... but since I have an 03, I've got the dreaded bounce from the rear

Was curious to know if there would be any problems running the hotchkis spring in the back, while keeping the front springs stock?

From a spring rate perspective, there would be a minute transfer of roll stiffness to the front thereby increasing tendency to understeer, but should still be less so than using the entire hotchkis f/r set

Moreover, i'd get the benefit of a less bouncy ride, and a lower than stock look in the back (my rear end sits high because i run without my spare/tools)

Thoughts/opinions welcome.

 

forgot to mention - reason why I don't want the whole hotchkis set f/r is because with my front lip, I scrape enough as it is at stock height (but back is fine, since, as I mentioned, it's currently sitting about 3/4" higher than stock due to lower weight)

 

i kinda have the same prob too. i had an accident a while back with a broken axle and after they fixed it, the back seems higher than normal stock cars. i kinda wanna lower my back only too since my front is low. anybody got some answers?

 

in theory, there should be no problem

stock spring is linear, hotchkis is linear

stock front spring-rate is 314, hotchkis rate is 340
stock rear spring-rate is 342, hotchkis rate is 330

Net result would be 314 (stock) front, 330 (hotchkis) rear resulting in a minor transfer in roll stiffness. Visually , the setup should look great too since the stock rear sits so much higher than the stock front any way

can a suspension expert confirm my logic here?
