Different springs front and rear?

I was wondering how much (if any) of a toll it would cause on the suspension if a guy were to have stock springs in the rear and Eibach Sportlines on the front. This would be on an 2009 SS/TC. I would roughly give the same effect as having footballs in the rear springs but this would more of a permanent solution. Not only would it somewhat solve a traction problem, i think the raked stance might be somewhat appealing.

Ideas??

The raked look would probably make it even easier to hit the front in on the driveway.

the stock springs squat really hard when you hit the gas... so youd prob be better off with a small cheap spring spacer out back.


just 16 bucks
