Re: Re: IML: Rear Leaf Springs



I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your sedan leaf springs will not work 
on a convertible, at least not correctly. A common misconception is that 
convertibles are lighter because they have no steel roof. The opposite is true 
as the roofless cars need sturdier frames and body components to restore 
structural integrity therefore resulting in a heavier car. In fact convertibles 
are usually the heaviest model in their line-up with the exception of the 
station wagon and in the case of the Imperials, the limousine. I'm afraid 
you'll have to procure some convertible springs or have yours redone. Have a 
nice day.
