The Cabrio Suspension Thread

[Cha Ching]

VacMan, your 'vert is so righteous! Great stance & interior. Where did you source your Koni's? I'd like to get some since everyone seems to run Bilstein with their H&R Sports...

Some updated pics of my suspension (H&R sport cabrio-specific springs, Koni adjustables, no spring pads) versus a gutted sedan on H&R Race with spring pads installed. I apologize for the blackberry pics, but you get the idea. Tires are 205/55/15 on 15x7, ET13 wheels.

Please dont hate me for my complete noob question, but why do the verts have their own specific suspension? Any help thanks!

it doesn't have a roof so the bottom of the car is a lot stronger than the coupe's plus it has the compartment in the back for the top which makes the rear heavier -> weight distribution is different from the coupe and it's more flexible as well because there's no roof to keep it rigid.
i hope this helps! ;)

Hi,
I have a set of H&R sport springs (cabrio spec) and Bilstein sport shocks. I was just wondering if you guys with this setup have had camber related tire problems. So the short version is Do I need to install some camber plates to correct camber for the lowered ride height? Thanks any input is appreciated..

i have the exact same setup and i do have problems with camber. i have about 2.5 degrees difference between the 2 sides (if i remember correctly). i need to get adjustable plates.
