Mis-matched suspension components Is it really a bad idea to have multiple brands of suspension brands on one vehicle? I currently have 5 different brands of suspension parts on my car (street driven only). Does this hurt performance?
UMI Rear Solid 22mm Sway Bar
UMI Front Solid 35mm Sway Bar
BMR round weld in SFCs
Pavlock Performance double adjustable PHB
Founders LCA relo brackets
Founders non-adjustable poly LCAs
Hotchkis Strut tower brace
Car is sitting on bilstein/eibach springs on all corners. I know some people will say stick with one brand as they were designed to work together but, I have had my car for nearly a decade and have just slowly accumulated parts from multiple manufacturers.

I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought. I buy what best suits my needs/wants regardless of brand. I find it just requires more research to do correctly, which is probably the main reason some people stick with one brand.
Here's my list of suspension brands on my car:
Hotchkis, UMI, GlobalWest, Ground Control, Koni, Hypercoil, DKT Performance, Spohn, RideTech, MWC..
