no difference in suspension, but a coupe's rear is a bit lighter

it might take some driving for things to settle to proper height

springs dont lower our cars much, i think the most is 2 inchs which is really not much. Let them settle, but I'm sure it went down a little and you dont notice.

oh ok thanks and i have another question. Know i have heard a myth that you can use a automatic ka24de ecu and use it with a manual ka24de . and that it gets rid of the top speed limiter. im doing a auto to manual swap and just wandering if i should buy a manual ecu

I bought a manual ecu just to keep from having issues with the CEL, it running in safe mode and idle issues. And settling may occur with your suspension, but if you want the lowered look you def need coil-overs.

im running the auto ecu in my car sence the 5 speed swap and havnt had any problems at all, and im pretty sure i have no speed limiter, i took it as high as it would go today on a basically deserted stretch of highway(no traffic, and STRAIGHT for miles, literally) untill i ran out of power, about 5800 in 5th( i know, bad me )
