Droping Car With Mixed Brands?

I like the stance the s-tech has when it's dropped but I dont want it to be that low because of my lip kit. I was thinking of leaving my eibach springs in the back and putting progress springs in the front. That would give me a 1.7"/1.3" drop. With that drop the difference between the front and the back would be 0.4" which is the same difference with the s-techs just not as low, so I should get the same sort of stance that the s-techs would give and I still have room to put the lip kit on without having to worry about too much scraping.

Do you think that's a good idea :?:

No problem with mixing... But you might want something higher in the front, I went from Progress to H&R because of my lipkit. But if your wheels/tires are bigger than mine then you will have no problems. I had 18" rim with 40height tires.

Then depending on your area you might still scrape a lot with the progress, hell I still scrape with the H&R's haha.

I've got progress in the front, maxspeed in the rear (which are about the same drop as H&R) and it looks perfect. Exactly the same wheel gap front and rear. I also have a stillen lip on the front. I have 5" of ground clearance in the front. I've only had it on for about a week but I haven't scraped anything yet, just be careful. It looks awesome.

If what you're going for is a certain look, there is no problem with mixing brands.
