Quick coilover question..

1) Is installing coilovers on a vert same as on a coupe? How do I access the rear on the vert to install them.

2) How do spring rates relate to driving? will a 6/5 front rear spring rate be really bumpy for dd or soft? Thanks.

1) yes all struts and suspensions are all inter-changable between all 2nd gens, accessing the struts on a vert i believe is in the back underneath the convertible cover for the spare tire (i think). Keep in mind that the vert weighs more than the coupe so you will notice that it will sag a little more when you install a new set.

2) i believe a setting like that will be stiff, dont quote me on that.

6/5 is sort of an odd combo. you usually hear of 7/5 or 8/6.

6/5 will be suitable for your needs, i think.
