is there anypoint in using just front coilovers with uprated cones and shocks on the rear? i know a few cars do this (more modern) but dont have rear rubber cones.
#1 is it worth doing or a waste of time?
#2 would it improve handaling at all?
#3 how low can you get cars on coilovers to go
#4 how difficult is it to change spring rates//get custom springs
please help :)

I'm going for coilovers all roung on my clubby so I think it's worth it.

#2 would it improve handaling at all?

I believe it will if you use the correct spring rates and set it up correctly.

#3 how low can you get cars on coilovers to go

Depends how you mount them, but in theory you could have the car running on the bump stops all the time, not sure you'd want it that low mind.

#4 how difficult is it to change spring rates//get custom springs

Easy, phone / visit Merlin.
