Another auto-x question

I want to try auto-x sometime this year and I was wondering if having the stock springs in the front and lowering springs (Tanabe) in the rear will have any bad effects to my suspension. In case anyone's wondering why my car is set up that way---I put on a GTC replica kit, and my car was completely undrivable with the front being so low. The difference in height isn't that noticable and I'm too lazy to put on the rear springs.
Anyway, any input? Thanks.

I'm thinking that will cause some big problems with oversteer. The last thing you need is a stiffer rear, 93 FDs have enough oversteer.

If you don't like chasing your tail, change the rear springs. Shouldn't take you more than an hour and a half if you've done it before.
