But it doesn't matter if it is a convertible or not. Helps the car handle better and in some cases, help prolong the body life of the car. Words of advice: if you have a convertible lower it to whatever you want, GET SUBFRAME CONNECTORS, and get some matrix bars or something because I used to have a vert and I know those bad boys FLEX BADLY!!! I know folks wanna go fast and shit but with a convertible, you HAVE TO HAVE SUSPENSION FIRST!!!!

Its ok to put stiffer/convt. springs on a coupe, but i wouldnt go with coupe springs on a convt, it might be too soft.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : 94dropteezyGT ¯ Member # 2385 posted                                 thanks guys for the advice... lates -------------------- " and im out... half a blunt hangin out my mouth speedin' like a demon on 101 south..."
