just make sure the tires are broken in before taking it for a crazy drive.

For track days, I will be buying a set of RS3's on new wheels. My personal opinion is that for daily driving, as long as you aren't noticing any real problems in your steering, then having them mismatched is really not an issue. For track I would not recommend it, weird things happen to tires on the track.
Oh great! If I let Civics smoke me at the corners I know who to blame for.

Seriously, thanks for the input guys. I was little bit concerned about the handling and tire wear because of the mismatched front and rear. I guess for dd it should be just fine. I will grab the used Potenza for now.
