No one said sedan springs are better than coupe. Goldline only said that it suggested using sedan springs on a coupe IF you have heavy audio equipment in the trunk. Not sure how you imagined using sedan springs on a coupe other than a complete decision to reverse all that is logical.

Depending on when you got them they should already be the fixed version if you bought them within i think the last 3-4 months...

anyways i had the old version where my rear sagged, and i drove like that for almost a year, although they did send me rear SEDAN springs to fix the problem for free after i had them on for a week...BUT, i just put the sedan springs on 2 days ago and it drops my car almost perfectly, 1 finget front, half finger back..so i'm happy for now

oh yea i got 2 12's in the back too, not sure if thats gonna do anything though

Did you drive it at all? After I installed mine it looked stock, then I backed out of the driveway and it dropped down. Try going over a speed bump or just brake really quick and see if it drops down.

Heres a pic of my redesigned coupe springs:

just push the rear down a bunch with your hands. it should drop a bit. i would send them back and get some coupes tho. perfect drop i think.

it depends on whether you got the revised verison or the initial release. the first version had softer rears, and many ppl i know picked up sedan rears for their coupes and it worked great. i'm guessing that after the revision, the sedan rears were stiffened even more so installed on a coupe would basically give close to no drop in the back.

you have sedan springs... they're designed for the heavier rear of the sedans. that's just how they are unless you weigh the trunk down with audio equipment

buy some speakers and throw them back there in that b***, if you dont already have some. If it has been a week or so, it probably wont settle anymore. I have the goldines coupe springs and I want to buy speakers, but I am afraid it will sag so I am not going too

i have coupe springs bought them back in november (old sagging version?), and i have 2 12" subs, with amp and spare tire in the trunk and its a perfect even 1 finger gap all around so unless you have a lot of audio gear for competitions it shouldnt be a problem.

One more time. If you have a sedan, use Sedan springs. If you have a coupe, use the coupe springs. Unless however, you have a "coupe" w/excessive stereo equipment. Then go with the sedan springs.

I had the same impression when I installed the new version of coupe springs. My rear was high as stock. However, after I took my car out for a test drive, the rear sunk to 1-1/2 finger gap.
