Im currently sitting on H&R sport springs, but im going through my rear tires like crazy, so I was thinking of putting in my stock rear springs back in only, (non-sport), but my concern is, do you think the car will look funny? Will it sit to aggressive in the front with a high rear end or would it look alright?

I dont think that would be a good idea because the h&r sports are made for you to use all 4 of the springs instead of just two in the front. If you just use two fronts you might upset the suspension geometry of the car. Did you get your alignment after you installed the springs?

it'll look real weird.. for sure....

when i went to put my stock springs in because i was returning the car i happened to change the rear ones first and when i got a look at the car it just looked funky and drive completely weird....

you'll have weird/bad handling characteristics.

if you put on the h&r sport springs, do you need camber kits?

you shouldn't need a camber kit but an alignment would be a good idea anytime you do suspension work. And the stock spring in the rear idea is probably gunna make the balance change front to back. the rear sitting a little higher will help the car rotate if the spring rates are pretty close to being the same. Will probably look a little funny.

Check out this thread on alignment options in Southern Cal:

If your tires are wearing out faster toward the middle, it's because the drop has given you a bit more negative camber. Take it to a reputable shop and have them check your camber.

I would not recommend mixing your OEM rear springs with H&R fronts. Your center-of-gravity would be affected, the springs rates in the rear would be softer, and you would likely increase your understeer.

currently lowered with h&r race, my mechanic did the alignment without camber kit, and mixing h&r and stock= not a good idea
