Lowered Convertible Questions

Lowered Convertible Questions
I have an 06 GT Vert, and I just got slammed this morning. I got my suspension finally put on:
-Tokico D-Specs
-BMR LCA relocation brackets and LCA's
-BMR Panhard rod
-BMR Springs 1.5" in the front and 2.0" in the rear
Holy poop is the rear really low. My question is, does any company just sell the rear springs? The ones I installed this morning are just way to low. I don't know if it is the added weight of the vert or what. I am thinking now that I should have gone with a 1.5 in the rear also. Any help into this insight would be greatly appreciated. I would put some pics up, but it has been raining here all day, so I have not been able to take pics yet. Whenever it stops, I will try to get some pics.

No, they're the same springs as the coupe uses. I contacted Eibach about them because they had a different part number in their catalog for them. They told me that they were originally planning on making a different set of springs for the vert, but decided not to.
Here'e a few pics of mine with the Eibach pro-kits.

Don't know how this will sit with you, but I've been using a set of cut stock springs on mine. There were some threads available on how to do this, but I took 1.5 coils off on mine and the ride sits just perfectly!

Another alternative
I picked up these springs but have not installed yet. They say they only drop the car 1.3" all around but I'm actually hoping the vert may go slightly lower. You could always buy these and sell the ones you've got.

They are the Eibach Pro kit springs. They give the 05 and up the perfect stance in my opinion. You're more than welcome to stop by and check it out in person, and I'd like to see your car too.
If not I'll see you at QSL.

How do these affect the ride????.....
I really like the look of the lowered cars, but I was wondering if they affect the ride of the car at all. I'm in Michigan, and we probably have some of the worst roads in the country. I'd like to keep the ride pretty smooth if possible. I know, I know.....I'm getting old.
