convertible shocks

[Mr. Spool]

I recently purchased a convertible 240 and need some sudjestions on the suspension, the convertibles if you did not know cant take corners for nothin, anyways I have a set of shocks and springs for a fast back as well as a set of coilovers and shocks for a s14 will any of these work. thanks.

You know this. Try harder.

[Mr. Spool]

You know I wish I did, All I have been coming up with is that the rear shocks and springs are different on the convertible. I would have thought that they would have been at least similar to the coupes, but I guesse not, I am hoping that I am wronge about his. are there any other tricks that I might use. as in new sway bar and or stut bars. I am scared to take corners in this thing.

put them on. if they fit, ok. if not, go search freshalloy for better results.

[Mr. Spool]

Thats an outstanding answer, however I was hoping that someone might have an answer or have tried something before. thanks.

Alright, I'll be nice for once. The S13 stuff will swap right over (it's all the same parts, 89-94), but the spring rates are considerably different since the convertible weighs 7 tons. Technically aftermarket parts aren't designed for it but they'll work fine, they'll just be under a little more load. Lots of people lower their verts without issue.

[Mr. Spool]

Thanks for that awsome response, so basically the shocks will bolt right in along and the springs will go on as well, now what kind of affect will the extra weight have on this set up?
