Default Coilover/Springs question

I did coil overs in front and back and they're absolute **** in the back. I cheaped out and I learned my lesson on that. The rear coilovers are too small and dont actually fit. I'm trying to think of the term but it's not coming to me, the best I can describe is thats they're loose and off center.. if that makes sense. So over bumps, the back squeaks. So I'm looking at dropping about $300 on legit lowering springs. But my question is, the coilovers haven't been bad in the front. Is it generally a bad idea to do coilovers in the front and springs in the back? or is there nothing wrong with that?

What kind of coilovers? Usually it takes awhile for it to break in. I've researched those cheap springs and coilovers and they ride like shyt. I'm actually saving for a full damper kit, instead of buying lowering springs and new shocks. Ay man fall and winter coming around, so I'm not in a hurry to lower my car.

yeah smart move man. I was a real idiot and decided hey lets get a ****ing body kit.... I've learned my lesson........... now I cant get my back bumper on because I really dont know what Im doing, I got the exhaust moved to fit up with the body kit one and now it has to be on to pass inspection and no one around here does them. I'm thinking about trying to put the old on back on and having them move the exhaust back haha..
