Default Rear coilovers in the front?

This may sound a bit peculiar, but i have a set of rear skunk2 coilovers (spring rates: 400ft/lb i believe). My car is currently on ground control coilovers (350f/250r) I was wondering if i could run the rear skunk2 coilovers in the front, and then swap the front GC coilovers in the rear. This way, my spring rates would be 400f/350r.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

might sit a little higher since the rear springs are higher than the front

i dont mind the height, i'll just play around with the perch until i find the right height setting. I'm just worried that the springs wont fit.

Front and back was pretty much the same when i had my springs on and off, It should work just fine.

What do u mean the differences are the springs? Meaning the length of it? Or do you mean the spring rates? (which i already know)

Rear springs will probably be a bit softer, maybe thats what he meant?

Oh, but I provided the spring rates for both coilovers.
