My Black 2013 California Special Convertible
Already put this up in the new member section but will post it again here and add as the mods roll in. The wheels and tires are SVT staggered 19's, take offs front a 2011 GT500. My F-150 FX4 is my daily driver, this is just for fun. Next will maybe be a slight drop, a tune and maybe GT500 exhaust.

Awesome ride.
Just be aware of the fact that if you lower it you need to get some vert specific springs. I had a pretty bad experience with lowering my vert. And it IS possible to do it without removing the rear bracing.

I haven't found any that show a vert needing specific springs, can you elaborate?

Sure, the vert is heavier in the rear due to the added bracing.
I bought some springs for mine and the rear was lower than the front.
There are several springs manufacturers that list Vert specific springs.
The car in my sig pic is a 13 v6 vert. I used Hotchkis springs and the rear went lower than the front due to the added bracing, but the front went a little high due to the lighter v6. It was bad all around.
I ended up finding a set of Bullitt springs that were Vert specific.
Lowering a Vert is a little tricky

If you read the amount of drop the Convertible will drop more than the coupe only on the rear
