shock questions

Postby Cakky » Sun Mar 04, 2007 11:02 pm

Hi guys just a couple of questions about suspension on my car

My mate has a set of front adjustable coilovers that will fit in my car, however the rears he has are stuffed.

I was thinking would I be able to use the front adjustables then buy some new stiffer shocks for the rear? I already have low king springs all around with standard toyota shocks. Would this end up in some crazy balance issues or would it be sweet?

Otherwise I guess I'll just start saving for a complete set of kyb shocks lol.
