    Is it wise to have 2 Different brand springs??

    Hello All,


    At the moment i have 4 EFS shocks and 2 EFS 2" Front colis that i bought of the forum, Why i only have 2 Coils????? DONT ASK!!!!. I'll have about $320 to play with and i cant decide if i should just get 2 New coils or upgrade the lot (If you can with $320).

    I was going to get 2 new EFS coils for the rear, but can you get say Tough dogs, OME or any other brand to sit with the EFS coils in the front?

    cheers simo.

    Mix and match front to rear isn't an issue.

    Mind you, for my money I wouldn't have any EFS stuff....

    $320 wont set you up. I'd just get a set of rear EFS springs so that everything matches.

    I think that you can get 'brown springs' (thomastown 9460 8622) for about $180 fronts and $210 rears. Never used them so can't comment on their product.
