Lift pads?
 
I've been looking for lift pads and it seems like the only ones available for the Convertibles are from ZL1 - which I am sure they are nice, but it's tough to spend $90 when the non-convertible ones are $35 on amazon

Any alternates/recomendations?

I bought those and the arms on my 2-post offset lift won't go narrow enough to use them. Waa waaa.

I have these and they work just fine.

Sorry. Failure on my part to pay attention.

Thanks!

I was hoping to find a set that stayed with the car but that looks like a good Plan B option!

Appreciate your recommendation - it's cheap enough that I may buy it in case I need to lift my Honda

I believe the convertible ones are just clearanced more. If you have access to a grinder or better yet a bridgeport or manual milling machine, you could make these ones work. (The ones for 39.99)

Correct. The rockers on the vert are thicker than the coupe for improved rigidity, reducing the depth of the pinch weld seam. Once side of the lift point must be milled to allow clearance, or it won't fit.

I basically did it anyways on my lift pads just to have them fit better. Similar process for the conv. I bet, just might be different amount.
