What do people think about using different brands of shocks/struts on the front/rear of the car(i.e. Bilstein's in front, KYB GR-2 in back)?

I think I want to go with springs that will lower more in front than in back...


Obviously, this question is fueled by cost. Bilstein fronts can be had for not much more than kyb's, but the rears are quite a bit more expensive(more than I want to pay)

It's a trade off of ego and the wallet

i got bilsteins in the rear and kyb in the front, only because i blew one bilstein front and joe gave me a deal on some kybs

Do you feel this throws off the handling or ride consistency in any way?

i got a soft front and a stiff rear!

I have it the other way around, but thats on the Yelli Celi's AGX's. set to 4 in the front and 2 in the rear.
