mix and match shocks/struts

OK, I got my springs and, thanks to Truehonda.com, I will have my camber kit Fridayish, now for the shocks/struts... i'm going with koni yellows for the rear(definatly) BUT I am thinking of going with the Bilstein strut in the front instead of the koni yellows... does this sound like a good idea? Here is my thinking...... I'm not sure how I feel about the koni yellow being an insert on the front, also, neuspeed says that konis OR bilstein are best with their springs, and i have neuspeed RACE springs.

the breakdown: with my neuspeed race springs, will Bilstein struts in the front and koni yellows in the rear work well or should i just stick with koni yellows all around (front and rear)

supper time bump

It may work... and it may not. Depends on the valving of both.

but luckly the Koins are adjustible.... so you may be able to tune them to work well with the Bilstein... But really it would be a better Idea to just get Konis OR the Bilstein.

BTW, I've been on Konis for the last 3 years....
