St xta question for you guys

Does anyone here run the convertible version of the st xta for their non convertible car? For instance e88 set on a e82, Im seeing the rear springs are stiffer. Did you guys like it or should I stick to my model?

I do. I like it. No regrets.
I run it at the lowest setting on the back. I believe you are not able to run it at the lowest in the regular spring, but I’m not sure.

I can’t compare to the coupe version as I replaced the sport springs with these.

I got the ST XTA vert springs on my coupe. Rear is in the lowest setting as well. It's a firm ride for sure but was exactly what I was looking for.

I also replaced my rear lower shock mounts whilst I was in there with IRP solid poly mounts. Rides on rails now with virtually no body roll.

I have the e88 vert version on my e82. Installed last week so still playing w setting and letting springs settle. I wanted the stiffer springs from factory, can always change out to Swift springs if we don't like them. Which you would likely do if you when e82 version and wanted stiffer.

Honestly not bad at all daily w/ stiff shock setting. I usually have 60# of bowling balls in the truck and it's not bouncing all over the place. Car feel very planted and allot of the body roll is gone. I replaced the rear lower shock mounts w/ new OEMs and new above bump stop bushings
