4-door won't make any difference, they're exactly the same.

I think the only real difference to consider, is the additional rear weight of the sedan. And you will probably only need to consider that when fine tuning specific spring rates.

With that kind of price range, you should be able to afford Koni Yellows, Ground Control perches & springs, and whatever camber solution you feel you need, if any. Nothing wrong with being able to choose the exact spring rate you want for your desired ride quality and height.

I'm running Konis with 400/400 GC springs, and Ingalls UCA bolts in the front (wanted mre camber than the lowering provided), and I spent about that much.

I'd have to see each on a scale to even consider something like that, and as you said, it would involve just a minor difference in spring rates, and that's for the setup to be PERFECT. Keep in mind that while the 4-door has the two extra rear doors, it also doesn't have the big, heavy glass hatch of the 2-door. And regardless, for his purposes, anything that would work on the 2-door will work on the 4-door.
