I was wondering the same thing with a 2.2, but I'm not looking to do it.

Will look like there's a dead body in your trunk.

NO. Don't do it, you don't want mismatched springs like that. Let's just say it would add a bit of undesired excitement to your drive to work

Seriously though, bad idea. It'll handle like hell, just get all 4.

BAD IDEA

Soft front + Hard rear = the back of the car coming up to chill with the front of the car when you don't want it to.

I engineer suspensions for military vehicles by trade, I'm not just some random moron posting a bunch of BS. If you don't trust me, check out Eibach's site, they specifically recommend you do all 4 or none at all as well, doing the back only is NOT safe.
