What do people think about using different brands of shocks/struts on the front/rear of the car(i.e. Bilstein's in front, KYB GR-2 in back)?

I think I want to go with springs that will lower more in front than in back...


Obviously, this question is fueled by cost. Bilstein fronts can be had for not much more than kyb's, but the rears are quite a bit more expensive(more than I want to pay)

It's a trade off of ego and the wallet smile.gif

Do you feel this throws off the handling or ride consistency in any way?
