Anyone know if this jr. cup kit would be ok for the convertible?

Looking at the jr. cup kit from Vogtland: http://www.ultrarev.com/960039-vl.html

Sounds like the rear of our cars weigh more than the coupe or the sedan- not sure if these are stiff enough. I can't find the specs on this kit at all, but have heard good reviews about their products and this kit.

If anyone has some info to enlighten me that would be great! Thanks!

I figure I have about $600 to spend including whatever new mounts and bump stops I need. Looking for a slight drop, probably not coilovers since I don't want to have to mess with camber and wheel spacers. I have style 30 wheels with 225/50R16 tires on them if that makes a difference. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have H&R "comfort kit" in my cabriolet. Price is 400€ here Europe. H&R Is premium chassis brand, like Koni and Bilstein. For example Porsche uses H&R suspension in its race and stock cars. I am very pleased with it. Here is picture with it:

Drop
-40mm front and 15mm rear

I run a Bilstein PSS9 kit. Not on the hardest setting though. That feels like you have solid bars under the car.

Well, so far I have emailed ultrarev.com, emailed Vogtland, and tried calling Vogtland (got an answering machine- nice) and no one has answered anything about these springs. Kinda frustrating.

Vogtland responded with spring rates- Front 24-29 N/mm and rear 20 N/mm. Works out to be 137-165 lb/in for the front and 114 lb/in for the rear. Unless the online converter is way off- doesn't this seem very lightweight??
