*You can not put coupe springs on a convertable, they have different spring rates!!!!!!!

*Eibach even list different part#'s for a convertable!!!!!

The reason the rear of your car is lower is its not able to compensate for the heavier convertable with the softer coupe springs!!!

Buy new springs!!!

If your goin to buy springs I would stick to the correct fitment Eibach's or H&R's...

Just because a Mustang may have the "correct fitment" Eibachs doesn't mean the rear won't be lower. Eibachs have a nasty habit of sagging in the rear, which is just one reason we don't use them. They're pretty crappy springs.
The Sportlines are for nothing more than lowering your car in the weeds. Having your car that low does zero for handling. In fact, it hurts handling, since your car will be sitting on the bumpstops most of the time. The Eibach ProKit springs are very soft, have a sproingy (!!) ride, and bounce off the bumpstops with even the most minor suspension travel.
