F/R spring different ?

Can I run MS springs in the front and stock spring in the rear w/o dieing or horribly bad handling ?

i put RB springs in front and stock in rear. partly because the car looks more level now.

i find in stock form the car oversteers a little too much, and at laguna seca the car was neutral- i could get understeer or oversteer at will (except in 11).

part of the advantage of doing the fronts is to cut down the front bump stops- very easy to get the suspension on those even with street tires and then all you get is understeer forever.

those are 18x8 wheels from a probe gt. the offset is a little more so my track is a smidge wider. kumho mx 245/40/18 tires. they arent light or anything fancy but i got them cheap and they look nice.

i thought maybe it would increase understeer but it works just fine- was faster in autocross as well.
