I wouldn't mix and match. You have no idea what the spring rates are and you probably would get some funky results in an emergency situation. Why wouldn't you just do it the right way and get a match set?

I do have the full TRD set, but the car has an even 26 3/4" ride height front and back with the TRD rear springs and the OEM front springs. If I add the TRD front springs, then the front will be lower, which is not what I am looking for aesthetically.

As far as the handling characteristics, it doesn't feel funky at all. I've put it through some sweepers, hairpins, and S-turns, and it appears to handle the transtions between being loaded and unloaed just fine.

I probably just should install the fronts, though, so I already have them. It just looks like a PIA to do, I'm lazy, and I'm satisfied with the current look as it is.
