Does it cause a problem by having say a set of standard suspension on the front/back and a set of Nitrons on the other end?

Or even a set of 3 way adjustables and normal?

Being sensible, i'd assume it's best to get a full set matched up, but am curious.

Cheers

It's probably not ideal, however, so long as you set the Nitrons up sensibly - ie similar to the standard ones - I can't see it being a great problem.

I'd say spring rates would be the most important, although different dampers do run with different spec springs to achieve the same result. If you had a road spec front and rear from two different damper manufacturers and the car was setup properly I'm sure it would be safe to drive, you just wouldn't have the optimum setup.
