my car is lowered 40mm on apex shocks and springs. however due to a recent accident the 2 front shocks need replacing.

Would it be bad to put spax shoks on the front and leave the apex ones on the back.

it would be ok, but it would cause the car to over stear id imagine because the rear is softer than the front

ill second that - it'll be fine, u dont need to have the same shocks on the front and rear

and unless they are adjustable stiffness you wont notice any difference
