2013 Pan S lowering springs

Hi all, I have just lowered my Pan S with H&R springs yesterday. I definitely noticed that the car doesn't roll/lean over as much on turns now. However, I'm not too crazy about the rear drop as it looks a little too low. I went with the 1.4 and 1.2 inch drop front/rear respectively. I was thinking about putting the stock springs back on the rear and leaving the front lowered.
I wonder if anyone have done this and what maybe the undesired outcomes of doing this. Thanks for any inputs.

Do you have any pictures (before & after)? I have the same springs ready to go on the P4S.

Don't do it. 2 different spring rates will not be kosher for the ride/handling.

You probably don't want to hear what this fellow has to say, but he's spot on with thephysics and engineering perspectives.

I think the stance with the H&R springs looks great and even. IMO this is how the car should have come from the factory.
