   Just as a temporary thing should there be any issue with running uprated rear shocks and standard front shocks? Nothing too extreme just g-max or similar. Car is lowered 35/40mm all round. Just that my standard rears really doing need changing

   You won't have any issues.
   
   But don't expect the front shocks to last to long, it would be good to change them soon.

   Thanks bud. Would the new rears make the fronts deteriorate faster then?

   People have ran std/uprated mixed for months.. They'll be fine till you change them. Just dont expect it to handle good.
