Mix n match shocks/struts

Hey guys,

Quick, maybe a dumb question. I have an 87 IROC, did the LT1 swap, have a T56 ready to go in, bought the Eibach Pro kit and a set of Tokico Illumina struts new. Im also putting an LS1 rear end in.

The question is, i can get a used set (500miles) of Koni yellows for the rear silly cheap locally. Does anyone see any issues running two different adjustables front/rear. The car is going to be 99% street driving, around town, etc. Not planning any track days yet, but who knows.

I know lowering the car I am going to have replace the rears at some point, and I know the forums affection with the Yellows, but just wondering what everyones thoughts were.

Thanks

No problem at all. I ran Koni yellow rear shocks and stock front struts for about half a year.
