Putting standard springs on the rear with lowered fronts..

[nebraska182]

Hi - my 182 just failed its MOT with a crack in the rear spring among other things. Its currently on Eibach Sportlines - i cant really afford to replace all 4 Eibachs atm - is it ok to put standard springs on the rear - is this a common thing to do?

Will the car look odd and how will the handling change?

It'll be fine, the best mine ever handled was when I had sportlines on the front and H&R coilovers on the back while the fronts were being refurbed!
I left it like for 6 months!

Was the standard springs for a non RS clio the same as a standard 182? They have fitted standard ones and they do look pretty high...
