Coil Overs for rear only!?

I wanted to know if there would be anything wrong if i were to put coil over just in the rear of my car. The reason being is becasue I properly lowered it using Sprint springs (2" drop front and back), and gen 2 KYB/AGX adjustables. The problem is that Sprint springs sit really high in the back. When you look at the car it does not look like an even drop all the way around. I am very happy with the front, and thats why i only need to put the coil overs on the rear. Would there be any problems with that?

to be honest with you, i am not planning on buying any high end ones as i use my car more for show rather than performance. I have to buy a set of 4, however, i will only use th rear ones. This will also save me money as i wont have to do alignments when if take them off for the winter. I am also not concerned too much for a bumpy ride since gen 2 KYB/AGX shocks have a setting actually softer than stock. Just wanted to make sure that there a no possible complications doing something like this

buying good set of coilovers isn't done just for performance. Trust me if you buy cheap ones you will end up dreading driving your car. Just save your money for good set. i am glad i did

So its that bad huh? I mean ive heard tha before, but i figured with Gen 2 KYB/AGX's because they have the capability of being adjusted to softer settings it would be better. I also figured that the ride would not be that bad because its only in the rear as well. But your saying that its that bad even with the shox i have. Well i guess ill take you word for it. Anyone else?
thanks

I am saying don't go cheap on the coilovers. Putting them on them on the back only will not be bad as long as the spring rates are close.
