H tech in the front/S tech in the rear????

ok so im trying to redo my suspension as some have seen in the classifieds.

i have H techs but want to go lower.

but now i have come to the idea that i would find a really nice drop with h tech in the front and s tech in the rear.

anyone done this? pics?

anyone against/for this idea?

Why would you want your rear slammed and front setting higher? Kinda goes against what everyone else wants being they would rather have a raked look maybe???

well eing that the s techs in the rear are only a bit lower than the h techs i have i think that the s techs in the rear would sort of equal it out.

the fender gap is bigger in the front so dropping the rear more would make it look even bigger.

Not to mention, remember in front wheel drive cars it's better to have more weight up front than in back. If you're lower in the back, your center of gravity will shift towards the back, diminishing your traction on the drive wheels. That "raked" look actually has a practical purpose.

Yeah...like im currently on eibach and i hate it, cause the back somewhat sits lower. So i have the s-techs sitting in my closet now and I'm patiently waiting for some affordable illuminas/agx.

Thats weird that on some springs the back sits lower. Im on eibach pro-kit, with Illuminas and the front sits lower than the back. It could be that SE's have different struts unless you changed the struts also. Other than that maybe its the tranny? 5spd weighs less than an auto.
