Mixing Shocks and Struts

so.. does it matter if you use a full set of one brand of shocks and struts or if you mix and match...

for example

I get 2 Tokico adjustables for front and then 2 KYB AGX for the back...

Does it matter? If so why or how so?

Thank you

Don't mix and match shocks....different brands/models will have different valving and the car will not react similarly at the front and rear.

You can do it but it can be hit or miss without a shock dyno or at least a print out from one on each shock. Then again you have to know what your looking for...
