18 Convertible PP1 questions on lowering

[sdiver68]

As stated in the title I have a new 2018 GT convertible with PP1. Still trying to decide on wheels and thinking about some small drop. My questions are:


1) Is the PP already lowered an inch from non-PP?
2) Are the stock PP springs for the convertible the same as the coupe? 165f/728r I believe?
3) Since I'm about 200 lbs heavier (or more with options) is there a rule of thumb for extra drop from the weight?


I'm thinking about minimum drop style springs at approximately the same spring ratings as I have which seems a nice compromise between sport and road for a semi-DD.


Thanks!

Same ride height for PP an non PP.


Springs are the same, shocks are different for the vert. Actually the springs are replaced by code which means to replace one you'd have to get the code off the one on your car.


You're going to drop more than a coupe, especially in the rear. I was really happy with the stance of my car with BMR min drops in the front and stock rear. Nice little rake if you like that sort of thing.

My car with min drop fronts and stock rears, the rake is even a little exaggerated because the car is pointing down hill.

Great color choice I'm not sure which I like more...your drop/stance, magnetic style wheels, or the fact you have a kid washing the car! :cheers:

Thanks man. He handles all my wheel/tire detailing! Someday I'll promote him to paint.
