Does anybody know any company that sells suspension for the S13 CONV??? I tried calling shops and it seems like they only carry for non-convertible. If you can e-mail me at [email protected] it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Very good question. I noticed my brand of choice for the last 7 years (eibach) has listings excluding the convertible.

search around, we recently discussed this. There are some oddities about the convertible(it uses 300zx mounting points, I think) that make it hard to find parts for.-chet

Nothing different about the convertible. They were normal coupes from the factory and made in to convertibles by an outside company. The reason companys say their parts are not for the convertible is chassis flex I think. I think they are just covering their a$$ in case the chassis broke or something. I have normal tein s-tech and normal s13 coupe KYB shocks on my car. Sure the chassis flexes because the springs are pretty stiff but I plan on bracing the undercarrage.
