Default 997 Vert spring install

Can someone point me to a DIY for the convertible? I searched a bit but could not find it. New here, so please help.

regards,
RJ

It's a fairly vague request.

What's a "Vert Spring" ?

I think he means "cabriolet top spring installation". I still can't help, but I think that's what he means.

He means installation of suspension lowering springs on a convertible car. There are a couple of special points to consider when doing the rears I believe...

Ah.

I went with bilstein coil overs on mine. #SAF w/ the DSC & sways front n' rear.

Had it real low for a bit, lifted it up to GT3 height and it's great.

^^ Just right, though sometimes I would like it to be a little lower, aesthetically.


OP - GIVE MORE DEETS.

I see. I was wondering about the potential location of springs in the cabriolet top...
