For those of you with convertibles, have you done suspension mods? I'd be interested to hear some advice. I'm also looking to get new wheels/tires and an exhaust.

Thanks!

Likely the rear springs will not support the extra 200-300 lbs the convertible is carrying. The result will be a much lowered ride height in the rear. Struts and shocks are the same between teh coupe and convertible.

Your best bet, without going to a coilover system, is Koni Yellows with some sort of sport springs.
