3rd Generation Spring installs

Guys, have a question on spring installs for a 95 I4. I've been planning for quite a while to replace my stocks with Eibach pro-kit, but time and other reasons have kept me from going forward.... want to do the swap myself, rather than spend the money on the install. Now to the point....Can I replace only the front springs first then ride for a week or two before I find time to replace the rear ones, since I would not have time to do all the 4 at once.

So would running on lowered springs in front and stock springs at the back cause any issues. Will there be any physical strain to the vehicle?

i had to install my spings like that on my old 93 'rolla. however, i only drove it half done over a 2 day period. i drove slower than normal just to be on the safe side. i really cannot see any extreme stress on the car if you do the fronts then the rears and its only temporary.

i did the drivers side then the passenger side. your way is much better.

for what its worth. i had an alignment done after by a reputable shop to make sure everything was perfect. after installing the springs that damn car could take exit ramps at any speed.

I would just drive safe. Just don't drive fast into a corner because you may experience uneven body roll AND you may exprience some understeer. Just make sure you get all four done at once... that way, it will be safer.

Just be patient and just get all done at once. It will be worth it.

i would get the same springs for the front and back
cornering would be an issue cos the spring compression might not be the same during corners
