Ok to use front coil overs with lowering springs rear???
I have JIC Cross coilovers and got sick of the clunking noises in the rear so I swapped back in my H&R springs and stock shocks in just the rear. It rides amazing now but am considering a track day next week. What handling issues would this setup bring forth? Could I run fronts softer to compensate?
Would an M3 sway bar be needed with coil overs and negative camber?

Honestly i think the only way to answer this question is testing it yourself, go drive it as is if your happy with it. If you haven't noticed any negative effects handling wise yet, you'll be fine.

from a layout perspective, this should be fine, as we don't get true coilovers in the rear anyway. dynamically it might not work well though, as you'll find that the spring rates and damper settings are not likely a good match.
