Jeez, let us all know where that site is! I have worn SPG springs, convertible springs, and various brands of lowering springs in different cars and swapped between them all on individual cars. It depends on what types of roads you will be on, but in terms of driveability, I would choose a new set of SPG springs over anything else. Though lowering springs make the car look more aggressive, they never feel like they are quite right for the weight of the car. SPG springs feel like the perfect happy medium to me and are often stiffer than lowering springs anyway- depending on the brand.
That said, the convertibles were never given SPG springs from the factory, presumably because they have so much flex as it is. I have Intrax in my SE and I like them a lot, but SPG springs would probably be more comfortable.
