472 brought up a really good point-

I saw a couple manufactures posted; any input on sizing relative to the weight of the rear on convertibles versus coupes? I didn't even concider that originally, but id assume the majority of the weight difference lays strictly in the rear...

Are there sets designed specifically for this, or do I need to purchase a staggered set; and if so, what's the appropriate sizing to offset the difference?

Thanks again everyone!

I don't remember exactly what the drop was on the pfadt, but if you just want to do springs, then you'll probably want to go with a staggered setup. I sold the pfadt springs to a guy in our club with a coupe and they look perfect.

This is probably the best picture showing the pfadt springs. I think it actually looked worse in person, especially when it wasn't parked downhill.
nice ride!

Damn nice cars guys! It seems with black rims and shined up tires it makes the drop more obvious. Very cool.
