Yup, convertibles weigh less and thus they use different spring rates. Thus if you have a convertible you need to get suspension designed for a convertible.

i thought due to a more flexible body they would have to strengthen the chassis? therefore heavier!

actually convertible weigh more(100-200lbs), and they come with sub-frame connectors to prevent twisting the frame
