Default Swapping front and rear skunk2 coilover springs?

I was just wondering if it was possible to swap the front and rear springs for the skunk2 coilover sleeves. Car is ek. I currently have them installed on koni yellows and the car understeers too much for my liking. I was so used to driving on lowering springs and a rear sway bar which had oversteer. And now driving with understeer feels sloppy to me.

Then your front would be a bit soft, but it can be done.

As long as your not to low you should be ok. Slammed + soft front spring rates = UCAs hammering shock towers!

I have a 1 finger gap up front and 1.5-2 finger gap in the rear. Should that be ok? or can I buy ground control springs and put it on?

Yes. You can use any coilover (race) spring as long as the ID is the same
