mix-match suspension

Hi, I found a really sweet deal on cusco adj. suspension from a guy in Japan. The problem is he only has the front... I think it would be near impossible to find matching rear, so would it be possible to mix-match front and rear? I think they are coilovers, but I don't think I could find nor afford to buy coilovers for the just the rear- so how would using non-coilover rear affect the handling? I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks!
Aaron

btw, this is on a FC

well.... no
dont do it. i cant see how you could find a rear shock with the same or close amout of damping the fronts will have.

theres a lot more to a shock then meets the eye, theres quite a bit of science behind them and they make your car feel like it does. If you put somthing messed up on your car, you car will feel messed up.

Unless you can locate the same set of rears, don't do it. OC_ is right on.
