Good question!
My best guess is something to do with convertible? Maybe the spring rate on that side was heavier/beefier?....i dont know, but its all leveled out even and rides fantastic! All the info I could compile with folks cutting the coils were nearly all coupe cars. Not much reports with convertible cars.

The pump maybe is on that side? But I wouldn't think that would weigh enough to have an effect. Either way, glad it's sorted.

Sat back or stock look good. Wingless cars are hit or miss. They either look amazing. Or they're a bit off.. havent found an in-between.

Wingless if you plan on some fat meats out back.
1" back otherwise.

Whale tail on a new edge? Which spoiler are you referring to John?
When I think whale tail, I think of a Foxbody Saleen or a 911

I have had a love hate relationship with oem saleen wings on my new edge. Have been considering trying an LMR fiberglass one. The oem saleen wings are tough to line up. Tough to mount and Require miles of double sided tape. When on correctly looks amazing.. as we all know from pictures of saleens..
Personally I think I should drill and add extra threaded inserts to it(IE sacrifice the deck lid and possibly make a support brace inside it since urethane can warp in the heat a little.
On the flip side my carbon fiber s281 wing (apecialty carbon fiber) on the red car was a breeze to install. A few pieces of tape yes. But 4 bolts and a little shaving under the winglet for fender clearance, a trunk height adjustment and it sits perfectly. Very pleased with it.
