Has anyone tried this setup? Any idea how it would be? I just picked up a used set and the fronts are bluish silver with the rears like the track silver... What do you think?

well obviously the fronts will have more give due to the different springs rates.

Isnt that essentially running 8k in the front and 10k in the back?...

Spring rates don't mean shit especially when their coilovers are valved poorly.

anyone else have any thoughts? Just noticed another person selling a set and the pics has the blueish fronts and silver rears. I asked but haven't received a reply yet.

It would probably work well for drifting. Not sure what you are using your car for.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Called Megan up today and it turns out Streets have the red collars and the Tracks have silver collars. Not sure why the tubing is not the same color in the front as in the rear, but they said to just go by the collars. So although the rears have silver tubes, the collars are red so I assume the entire set, must be streets. Weird how some retailers have pics with the entire set with blue tubes.
