Running mismatched coilovers, etc.

Is there any danger or drawback in running mismatched coilovers? I just bought a nice used rear pair of Cuscos for my S14, but I don't know the model and I doubt I'll find a match. They're metallic blue, red perches, have helper springs, and only the perches are adjustable. Would it be okay to run a different model pair of Cuscos on the front, or should I try to source a match?

Also- I've heard that S13 fronts will also fit the S14. Is this true?

I've ran/currently run mismatched coilovers. Cusco rears and Kei Office fronts. I cant tell any difference anymore as I've had this setup for about 2.5 years.

But I'll be buying some PBM coils once I get back to Cali

Cool, thanks. But what about running S13 fronts on my S14? Will they fit?

On edit- I searched around, but read mixed things. Some said yes, others no. If anyone has personal experience, chime in?
