Lowering springs in front, stock springs in the back?
When I bought my car it came with some kind of lowering springs on it. The front looks perfect but the rear sags bad, so bad it tucks the top of the tire. So I bought a set of stock evo 8 springs and Im going to put the stock rear springs on my car. There won't be any probelms with this will there?

pic of the rear

pic of evo 8 with stock suspension

i think the stance would look good

have you looked to see what kind of lowering springs you currently have installed? Also are you sure the actual strut is still intact? With that kkind of sag the strut must have taken a beating and it could have definitely blown.
oo that is a good point!! it is very possible that the strut is blown, but maybe not you should chck that out

Moved.
I would suspect a dead strut or 4 too...
Springs are for much more than drop. The spring rates will be vastly unmatched for each other.
Either put new springs on all around or get a better set of springs (and replace all around).

the color of the springs is a light blue from the looks of it....is the only way to check the sturt is to take the strut/ spring assembly out and if the strut doesn't expand out its blown right?

Totally depends 
I would search and read a bit more before pulling the trigger. You have to find a setup that fits what you want it to do the best.

Im running lowering springs in the front and stock in the rear. Only because my Hotchkis spring in the rear broke in 2. I haven't had any ill effects from running it like that......but I also drive like an old lady.
Lowering springs
Do you ever do any spirited driving? Just wondering how the car would perform on some spirited turns.
