Default stock springs back in the rear??????

i want to give my car a more agressive stance, and i know the lowering springs in the back are killing my launches. Can i run my H&R sport springs in the front with the stock springs in the rear? has anyone else done this?

You looking for something like this? This is Ford Racing springs up front with stock in the rear. Handling is better (neutral vs. understeer) and the ride is the same as stock. Launches have a lot more body movement.

looks good, im having a brain fart, whats that mean "body movement" thats bad for launches correct? so would i be better off to leave the springs alone?

The rear squats down more noticably. I don't have a problem with traction (5200 feet of altitude help with that), the car simply squats and goes. It's more noticable with the front dropped than it was stock. I'd say I launch better overall.

Handles better. Too much understeer stock, now it's more neutral.
