Mismatched springs

[tampasnake]

All I have installed Steeda's Sport Linear springs on the front of my 2015 GT (non PP). I have not done the rears yet. I like the look with the stock springs in the rear and the Sports up front. From my measurements the rear is exactly 1" higher than the fronts.
My question is there any issues running mismatched springs like this? It seems to drive, ride, and handle fine. I have yet to get an alignment either. I was waiting to finish it.

I should have searched first I just found a couple threads on this subject. I'll be putting the rears in this weekend with the white line spring isolators to raise it up a bit. For the look I like.

It will drive okay if you take it carefully. The stance is gonna be wrack tho.
I need to see picture.

I've been riding mismatched Steeda GT linear fronts/Steeda Ecoboost progressive rears for the past year and love the handling, grip, and ride quality. I previously had just Steeda rears with stock front and it handled good but looked funny (reverse rake look) lol.

We have a few customers riding around with a hybrid setup of our springs

It looks fine but I haven't really pushed it since doing the front since I haven't had an alignment done. I'm probably going to put the rears on Sunday since I have them in the trunk.

It looks a bit odd because the front tires are 275/35/20 and the rears are 295/30/20. The tires were in the wheels as a package when I bought them. They were cheap but hopefully if n4speed quits stalling I'll have my new 6gr's here soon.
Oh to the top of the front wheel arch is 27.5 and the rear is 28.5

I installed the rear Steeda springs today. Wow I am glad I did. It changed the car. Anyone out there wonder I would not run mismatched springs

Did you add the spring isolators as well? I'm looking to lower my V6 but need some extra height in the rear.

Sorry for not following up all.
I added the Steeda springs in the rear and added the isolators. I haven't taken a picture of it since.
In my opinion it is exactly what I wanted. It gave it a more aggressive stance, it feels much more stable going down the road, it still fits easily on a lift, and doesn't scrape on anything.
