Default using Tein HA's only in the front?

would there be anything wrong with using Tein HA's in the front of my civic? i have a h22 swap and i kinda want something stiffer up front.

so is there anything wrong with using those only up front? reason i ask is someone is selling the fronts for pretty cheap. oh yeah they are from a dc2..

depends on what you'll be running in the back...

higher springrates are good for the heavier front end, but you don't want to completely destroy the balance of the car. And I'm not sure what different damper setups will do...

what you really want, is similar damper setups front and back, but with a little bigger difference in springrates from normal... (so higher front springrates)
