i really need to know if there is a difference between an s5 coupe's rear shocks and a convertible's rear shocks..or are the spring rates just uprated?



also a little off topic..will the header made for the coupe work?..or are there crossmembers on the way?

Crossmember needs modifying

Rear shocks are different on a convertible, no one I know of lists specific aftermarket shocks for the vert. Using TII shocks will give a SLIGHT lowering effect.

i looked it up in the parts fisch

in 88 the vert has stiffer springs and shocks all the way around

in 89 the vert only has stiffer springs the shocks are the same for everything in 89

RB and Eibach list specifics for the vert, or at least they used to...



Eibach springs will drop the front end approx 1.5" and the rear .75".

yes..thank you...but is the mounting setup for the SHOCKS different from coupe to convertible....getting springs from eibach is not hard for me..but getting custom made shocks...that is the problem i dont want

Rob x-7

no, just the rate is different, the mounts are the same

*sigh of relief*.....all i need is to order a stiffer RX7 spring....easy
