ive got some 01gt coupe springs they are eibach sportlines progressive rates.im thinking of putting them into a 99gt vert temoprarily. anyone know exactly what differences there are between the springs of 99 coupes and verts? im guessing just the coil rates but if anyone has some info help me out. if anyone has done it is the difference between sportlines for coupes and verts dramatic?

yes the vert is way heavier the springs will look funny. Your rear end will sit lower than your front end, you shouldn't put these in, unless you want the car to look that way but I don't think you do ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Coupe springs are normally softer than vert springs.....Convertables are heavier...

It depends if the 94 5.0 has a pessenger or not ![[Wink]](wink.gif) , but the 99 verts run about 200+lbs heavier....
