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.

Pictures of Tokico springs front & Tein S-tech rear (-.5" springmounts)

 

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.

 

Are the Tokicos linear fronts?

 

Yea Tokico are linear front and rear 375/375

 

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

 

Na, but post some pics for my curiosity after they settle.

 

yea if weather permits this weekend i will go ahead and put them on, will post back the results.

 

bump...pics are up, sorry for the dirty ones....

 

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:
