Lowering Kit for V6 Convertibles ?
I have been looking for just the right lowering kit and have been told by many installers that most of these kits are NOT designed for convertibles
Of course they will install anything I want but I really don't want something thats not going to improve my handling.

Because of the extra weight in the rear n the Vert you should use Pedders 220032 front coils and 220035 rear coils.
