Spring Difference: Convertible vs Coupe
- Thread starter topless98gt

So you're saying that if I put Coupe springs on a Convertible, it will lower it more than it would have lowered the Coupe?
Again, I'm not positive on this, but if memory serves me correct it should be right: The coupe spring will "lower" the vert more because it's softer, and due to the extra weight. The vert spring is made stiffer to support the added weight.
I can't find any specs on the MM site or on Eibach's site. Crappy tech on there.

I found this on a website, but don't know how accurate it is:
OEM spring rates:
Mustang GT/V6 Coupe 1994-2004 450 (linear) 210 (linear, solid axle)
Mustang GT/V6 Vert. 1994-2004 400 (linear) 185 (linear, solid axle)
If it's correct, then I got it backwards, but I'm not sure. The site wasn't sure either

I know the vert springs are progressive. The rears are about 165/210 and the fronts are about 285/400. The vert's ride is supposedly softer than a coupe's. If you install SFC's, the ride will change and you will want stiffer springs, otherwise you will do "hand-stands" when you brake. I installed some 1/2" Mach 1 springs (650 front, 250 rear) and I am much happier.

I know on the eibach kit the fronts are the same from coupe to vert but the rears are just a stiffer spring rate.
The guy that had my car before me had eibach vert springs on the coupe, they do fit.
