Yes, this is true that the 370z/g37 coilovers are interchangeable.

About 5k on them so far. No problems what soever. It's all gravy.


How does it ride? Stiff?soft? Does it feel weird or natural?

Well i have mine set pretty low and the dampening set to full stiff. I've dragged it & autox'd with this setup. Very impressed with how they handle.

lol!

forgot to tell you! rule # 1 when running coils is never adjust to the stiffest or the softest. you're at high risk in blowing the gas shocks. you should consider wounding it down a few notches.

TomieG,
Why are they called oem style coil overs? Are the rears not coilovers, but side by side spring and shock?

They don't seem to be affected by the weight difference being that they're in a G and not a Z?

Yup, just like the oem setup.

You can see in this pic the spring sits in its own bucket separate from the coil just like oem.

Any particular reason why they do that? Advantage? As opposed to coil overs?

Eh thats just the way Nissan designed the car. If you opted for a true coilover in the rear then then there would be no use for the spring bucket. It would just be an empty space.

How's the lowering ability with stance supension ( sounds like the name says it all)?

How about the added weight of the G being that these were made for the much lighter 370z?

Are there any suspension components from the G35/350Z that are compatible with the G37? I don't care if anyone has done it, I don't care if you recommend against it. I just would like to know if the parts are compatible.
Thanks/cheers,

the rear shock/spring assembly will work on our car. the front shock is different from our to the g35-350z. The sway bar's can be used also but you'll need all of The brackets and bushings

Just get the Nismo S Tune setup for the 370z. That way you have a full setup that will work with each other. Then get the nismo 370z sway bars. I dont think anyone here has that setup.
