I run 70/30s in the front and 50/50s out back and haven't noticed any drivability issues. Of course its not like I autox the car. Got mine for Christmas and am pretty happy with them.

Are either one of your guys cars lowered?Cause i wonder how the 50/50 shocks would work in the back with it being lowered. Is there any body out there that just runs the struts up front and standard shocks in the back?

Aren't the stock rears basically 50/50's anyway?
