I have Suspension Techniques on my convertible with Tokico Illuminas. The Ground Control coilover kit will also work, as well as the Eibach progressive springs.

Any springs that will fit a coupe will work on a convertible. The main thing you have to worry about is bottoming out when you're buying springs, because the convertibles are heavier than the coupes.

why is it that most manufacturers state "exept convertible" for most suspension parts? thanks for your reply.

They say that because the extra weight of the convertible can cause the car to bottom out with some lowering springs. If you add a good set of shocks and struts you should be ok.
