I just tore down my Gen 2 ITS RX7, and I was thinking about stuffing the suspension and a few other drive trane parts into a Gen 2 Vert. Should there be any difference that I should know of before I make a purchase?

Are you planning on running it in ITS as well? I think it would be a fun car to drive but it would suffer both aerodynamically and with the weight. As far as the suspension goes everything is the same. You will see an extra brace or 2 under the car around the trans crossmember.

Last time I read the GCR's only vert cars allowed in IT are cars specifically designed to be a vert. Since Rx-7's are coupes originally, then the vert's not classed in IT.
edit....
here it is, 9.3.1.8.f
f. Convertible tops and attaching hardware shall be completely
removed. Note: Convertible model cars are permitted if they
were only available as convertibles (e.g. MG Midget), or if the
convertible model is specifically allowed on the vehicle spec line.
Convertible models may compete with their respective OEM
hardtop. All latches shall be replaced with positive fasteners.
Manual and electric sunroofs, original or aftermarket, where
the panel is not normally removable shall be retained and run
in the closed position. Components (motors, cables, rails) may
be removed provided the panel is securely retained. Removable
sunroof or T-top may be retained if bolted or welded in,
or removed completely. Glass sunroofs must be removed. All
sunroofs may be replaced with panel or replacement skin of
the same material as the original surrounding roof material.
I definitely remember SCCA classifying the 2nd gen convertible in ITS. 2nd gen Convertibles are all over the place.

The convertible is in the GCR on the same spec line..
