springs

about 3 weeks ago i put my front s-techs on. after i had the suspension apart it started snowing. so i decided to just do the front until the weather gets a little warmer to do the rear. i sort of like how it sits now though so would i hurt to leave the rear stock and the front lowered? the stock suspension handled pretty good so i dont think it will affect handling to much will it? when i need new struts ill do the front and back but i like how it has that aggressive satnce now.

You could leave it like that, but the problem is that you now have stiff springs in front and soft springs in the rear. Not the greatest setup for handling. I would change them out. S-techs won't lower the rear any furthur than where it sits stock.

Do the rears, wait a week or two, and get an alignment

You totally unbalance the car aka pretty dangerous if your too enthousiastic on the road... bad if you ask me and if anything happen like a sudden lost of control (black ice here), good luck !

Two words as of right now : BE CAREFUL
