Any thoughts on mixing springs? I plan on putting Tokico front springs matched with S-tech for rears.

UPDATE: 10/05/09

I've installed the front TOKICO springs and so far the results are great. The drop is more noticeable and to me it feels like the handling has improved over the S-tech fronts. The TOKICO's being full linear the front end feels way more responsive and the ride quality has not improved or diminished.

I'm still debating if i should use the TOKICO rear springs as well but kind of like the higher spring rate at the rear.

This would give me 1" / 1.1 (.6" + .5" from springmounts) drop.

The rates would be 375/400 Linear springs....seems good to me but just wondering other ppl's thoughts.

The car is currently mounted on S-techs and got a set of Tokico sport springs.

I wouldnt mix springs, and i would much rather progressives in the front, but its your call. I dont see why it would hurt anything by doing it.

i guess it can't hurt try give it a shot, it will be a fun experiment. Just didnt want to get a surprising effect

What is the original drop height for the front tokicos? 1.1"? That seems a bit lower than 1.1", no?

Its supposed to be 1", but it might look lower since i have taller tires Fronts are 245/40/19 and Rears are 255/40/19

went ahead and swapped the rears to Tokico's as well. The drop is the same as the Tein's, maybe it could settle more:
