I am not sure, There is some extra weight, but I dont know if there is enough to use stronger struts/shocks.

Yes I've never seen vert specific shocks and springs. The TA's have to be tranny mount and you have to be careful with springs as ones that lower the rear can too much can look stupid. verts don't weigh THAT much more than coupes.

I run BMR springs up front with rubber hose mod in the rear with Bilstein HD's. It rides pretty nice plan on upgrading the sway bars next. I'm not a serious handling guy though. If you want the best performance Konis or revalved Bilsteins are the way to go. If you just want a decent handleing car (stock sucks IMHO) then the setup I have is nice. Braking is much more "assured" after replacing 75k mile stock suspension.
