The vert springs vs coupe springs are just as RedTED stated - stiffer. They were slightly taller and had a higher spring rate due to the increase weight of the vert.
We put vert springs on our '88 base model rally car to actually LIFT it a tad and to keep it steady on the rougher off-road like terrains. We were only allowed OE equipment for springs in our class and the vert springs helped a lot!
We also ran the vert springs with the KYB AGX shock absorber, but mainly because the stages would change from event to event ranging from gravel and dirt, to tarmac to sand... I think the AGX would be more than you need on the street, but if you're looking for a no-fuss, but better than OE absorber use the Tokico Blue.
