Thanks for the info Gclee. How’s the handling? Are you running spacers?

Not sure this is the best idea. Kinda like running different tires front and rear, the handling implications could be unpredictable

I think it sits evenly with front and rear. I think it gave me about an inch drops on both. Maybe a bit more. I like it .
Looks nice there, how long have you been running that setup and what are your new alignment settings?

Its funny you mention this. I have another thread about how when i bought my cpo ipl vert, it came with front and rears all mixed up so different width tires are on the same axle. Ran it for months wihtout realizing, and when i corrected it, didnt notice a big change in handling.

how many high-speed emergency avoidance maneuvers did you do in that time period?

Ideally it would be best to stick with suspension that was engineered to work together.

As far as what effect it will have in handling, especially in emergency situations, not the best time to have something unpredictable come into play.

This is not saying that mixing components won't work just fine, but a lot of time & research is spent to eliminate problems and enhance the suspension systems. A suspension system is complex and incorporates many parts all needing to work together to insure you have a safe and predictable drive.

So this would be a time to consider the risks involved.

I'm not running any spacers but I need one for sure. Maybe 1inch for the front and 1.5inch for the rear. I remember when i had spacers on my Genesis coupe and had horrible experience so i'm scared to get spacers.
it's my daily drive and I can't really tell if it's driving weird or not. It's fine to me.
it looks much better than before for sure.

oh yeah alignment was done . yes.
