Okay so here is my question i hope that someone in here will be able to answer it for me. How come the springs that work on a coupe or fastback model will not work on the convertible model?

Does anyone know who makes drop springs for my 92 convertible?

thanks

My buddy at the muffler shop has a vert with a pro kit/kyb combo.
Not sure witch kyb's. I'd have to ask. I would think all the sus. stuff would be the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The weight distribution is different for the 'vert. No spring manufactures have taken the time to corner weight a 'vert and produce springs. All conventional springs and shocks will fit as long as they are made for a s13. As far as the handling aspect I have no clue what the difference would be?

the srping rate on the vert is the same as the 300zx so u need a harder spring rate than your conventional whitelines/sportlines....

u need custom or something i dunno

get coilovers instead

I would not make your springs too stiff... the chassis might not be able to handle all the flex.
