Default Do Verts sit lower than Coupes?

I just got done lowering my 08 Vert with stock bolts and had noticed I could only drop car maybe 1/4" just from the looks of the bolts from what I had turned. I know alot of people say they can usually get 1/2-3/4" drop. I measured before and after and it only dropped 1/8'' thus far. I didn't know if maybe the Verts come a little lower than Coupes.

Once I get back into town this weekend I will post some pics of the car lowered as far as it will go on stock bolts.

Don't assume that all cars, coupes or convertibles, leave the factory at the same ride height to start with.

Where is everyone measuring the ride height from? Is there a factory spec and location?

I think he's just referring to the fact that cranking all the way down on the stock bolts didn't lower the car much. USUALLY, you get about 3/4" or so out of that from what I've read...

the OP's car must have come from BG a little lower.
