Question Matching Brand Mods?

Maybe this is in the wrong forum but I was wondering how you all felt about all your suspension parts or any other for that matter matching? For example, I have all umi suspension parts but my stb is from slp. Is it worth it to sell mine so they all match or what? They're all the same color, maybe I'm ocd?

I research every part I buy seperately, so almost every part on my car is from a different company. I don't see anything wrong with that, unless your a sponsered shop car.

I have all different types of parts.

Even from the factory GM switches it up. On the 1LE suspension package, you get Bilstein Shocks/Struts and Eibach Springs.

After that I went with LG motorsports LCA's, and a Tbyrne Adjustable PHR, and then went with a Hotchkis STB.

Nothing wrong with being OCD to a point. I have had good success with UMI components, so why jump to another brand? I don't even really think it's OCD, if you find a great company/product it's Nutswinging.
