Default Anyone ever run Eibach Prokit springs on front and BMR/Strano on the rears??

Just wondering since I like the stance of the Eibach prokit but read about the sagging issues of its rear springs. Would mixing the two be good or no? I'm currently on stock suspension and will be doing new shocks too, most likely Bilsteins. This is a street car.

If you already have the Prokit then BMR or Hotchkis rear lowering springs are available separately, an will work fine with the front Prokit lowering springs. Otherwise, go with the BMR or Strano's first then which have the best spring rates
I'd also look at H & R, Vogtland, Hotchkis, well before considering Eibach.

I'm literally about to run that setup tonight, I'm installing the rears today so I have less to do tomorrow when I put in the fronts, I hate my eibach pro kit, it came with the car that's the only reason I have them. I'll be installing the strano rears at y place tonight and driving 80km to my parents place to install the fronts so I'll let you know how it feels with strano rears and eibach pro fronts, supported by koni shocks

looks exactly how it did with the eibach pro kit on. just feels a million times better. i honestly cant see a difference. even with the eibachs on the front and stranos on the rear, couldent visually tell the difference.
