Default front springs usable in the rear?

Want to get stiffer springs in back.. and thought maybe I can get another set of Sportlines -used- and put the second set of front springs in the rear so I can have stiffer susp out back...
400+ spring rates all around - nice!

anyone know if they will fit okay?
anyone know if they will have a different drop than the regular sportline rears when used back there?
thanks guys.

no no, no coil overs for me ... yet.

I don't think the springs will seat into the shocks. Even if they do...you'd be better off just getting a set of Ground Controls with user-specified spring rates.

Also, I think the drop would be jacked up (literally). The taller front springs in the back, coupled with the higher, linear (instead of progressive) spring rates would make the back of the car a little higher.

Yeah that sounds very questionable, dont do it.
