Question Spring replacement

Hey guys...
when i bought my 88 lX, it came lowered all around about 2 inches.... i want my car to have an agressive look, with the front lower than the rear. I think this may also help traction problems.

Would it be okay to run stock springs in the back with the aftermarket springs in the front?

Also i have four springs from a 4 banger fox body sitting around. Would it be okay to use those?

Which springs should i use from the 4 banger, the ones from the front or the ones from the back, or are they all the same?

thanks in advance.

Why would you use the 4 banger springs on the rear? Most everyone running 4 banger springs run them up front with the stock V8 springs in the rear. The 4 cyl springs are prone to allowing too much squat in the rear during launch, which is very bad because once they rebound they unload the suspension causing a loss of traction.

If you want the front lower than the rear and want to increase traction off the line, run the 4 banger springs up front and V8 springs in the rear.
