Shocks Shocks Shocks
I ran across QA1 double adjustable front shocks at the price for new bilsteins so I bought them
, with that being said I don't really want to drop $550 for two rear matching shocks. Will I be at a severe disadvantage to run standard bilsteins in the rear?
Thanks!

Usually the double adjustable QA1 are for track, stiffer suspension not really needed on a road car.
If they have road car (similar spring rate to standard) you can get away with coil overs front standard rear.
The car would have been setup with what spring rate combination works best, usually messing with front or rear only can affect the handling for the worse.
Fit them and see?
The rear coil overs need a adapter bracket for clearance.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply! These aren't coilovers they are just shocks. I want to track it next spring so I'm trying to go through and cover my bases. If the right decision is to go with different shocks or if it is to buy matching rear shocks I will. It's a base model suspension 94.
