Mechanically it'll be fine.. how it'll ride is a different story. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

it'd be fine but like flotsamm said, your ride comfort would be whack. should wait til you have the bucks to get the whole set though and do it all at once. prob another 200 or so? just wait few weeks, i know u arent THAT broke. are you?

just save up and buy it all at once...why go thru the hassle of doing the install twice and having a half assed ride?

I would recommend getting the back first if you can only afford 1 set at a time. The fronts are just inserts, the rears are full replacements. Plus, the rear might sag on stock struts. Just a guess, tho I also have neuspeed race.

If you have to do half at a time I would suggest doing the rears first.

For handling purpouses... you'd be better off getting the rear shocks first. as it will help reduce Understeer.

konis cost a pretty penny. from $500-600 from the websites i browsed thru. you can go eBay but its a big risk throwing down big bucks on someone you dont know of.
