Convertible Springs: Sportlines not for Convertible?

I'm getting some lowering springs for my 'vert and noticed on the Eibach website for their Sportlines that they are not for convertibles?

Are they really not? Has anyone run them with (without) issues?

Cheers

Should be the same. On some cars coils springs are likely quite different between hardtop and convertible, but on these things the convertible only weighs 100 pounds more, so I don't see a problem.

I have Vogtlands on both my SS and WS6 Vert. Good springs and probably the lowest aside from shitty sportlines.

I had Intrax front/Sportline rear on mine with LCas/relocation brackets and an adjustable panhard. Loved it

Thanks guys.

Let's see some stance pics and list your springs.

I had Strano before, and they were not quite low enough. Intrax is a tad too low for me.

I just took these off my car - if you pay for shipping, I'll ship them.

Apparently for convertibles, you have to go with LT1 springs? I never knew that. I just put in BMR springs, and had no issues with fitment.
