Only Blues are available for the G.

ok, thanks for the info! I had the D-Spec on my previous 350z, and loved them! It has variable adjustment, and got rid of the bouncy ride instantly! Wish Tokico can make the same thing for our G, and I would get it in a heartbeat!

Thanks

UPDATE:

Koni has released their 370Z Sport shocks and struts.

Im waiting for an answer from my guy at Koni if they will exchange to a G37.

It might be possible, notice that KW3 coilovers use the same part for the Z and G.

Casey, want to be the first to try??

Swift Springs on Konis! just waiting.

For the coilover fanatics, I dont care if the cost for the above is more!!!

I've got Illumiinas and H&R springs on my old Maxima and I'm happy with them.

Im seeing pre-orders for $940 for the set.

It looks like they are complete struts not inserts.

What led you to that conclusion? (Fit) Same as me?
That most coil overs use the same part # for G37s, as 370Zs??

I'm already the foglight guinea pig, someone take a stab at this!!

Yes those suspension parts interchange fit wise. Different spring or damping rates, but they physically will fit either. Of course you'll spend as much as you would for a set of coilovers and still not have height adjustibility, but if the springs drop it to the height you want I don't see any problem.
