Different suspension because of weight?

Does anybody know if the vert's suspension is going to be different because of the relatively large (~500 lb) weight difference from the coupe? I'm looking into getting a drop, but I can definitely tell the suspension (esp in the rear) is different when the roof is up versus down.

What do you guys think? I'm personally leaning towards coilovers because they're adjustable in case the rear is completely different from the coupes? Post any of your thoughts!

No one dropped a vert yet? I was thinking if I did a drop I'd do coilovers also.

Cool. I was reading this thread for more info on coilovers vs springs. I'd want to do it right the first time.

Additional thread, no springs or coilovers are available that are specific for the vert
