    Bilstein Srints in the back only?

    So,I m about to change the rear set of shock absorbers on my car and I have a question.
    There are HR Springs and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers all around at the moment.The rear bilsteins are almost shot,measured at around 45% both,
    whereas the front are at around 70%. I know these figures are just for
    general comparison between them and not absolute figures,but I m gonna change the rear sometime next month.

    Since the car is dropped by the HR springs (-35mm),can I use Bilstein Sprint in the rear instead of sports?
    I mean ,I know the valving is the same,but still the fronts will remain the same ie sports at least for another 4-6 months.

    Is this a stupid idea or not? Feel free to flame!
    Thank you.

      Edit: I just re-read your post and realized you want to use the shorter ones(sprints), since they are gas charged the shorter ones are better with lower ride height. Although i wouldn't recommend running shocks with different lengths.
