Need help, will 370z nismo suspension fit my 08 coupe?

He is ordering coilovers and z1 said that his stock set up will fit. I know very little about suspension and want some opinions and intellect. Only suspension i have are hotckis sways and a gt strut bar. and stock wheels with 275 rear 245 front.

i agreed to pay him 150 and he helps install it. im wanting it for performance. i will get it aligned at pep boys for $50 after, not too much more to say i guess...

$150 for what? Nissan 370Z OEM struts and springs? I guess it's not a bad price but I just don't see the point.

well their 1200 on the z1 site. the car will sit lower, increased stiffness, steering response. im not a person that lowers a car cuz it looks good or whats the hella flush look. im about the performance part and im not going to spend 1500+ on coilovers. majority of people that do that just drive normal and dont track or anything.

i know the g37 weighs about 400 ish more than the 370/nismo so im just curious if anyone knows what affects if any that will have.

Go for it! this the NISMO setup not the Stock! Also it will drop the car some what because of the 370z..

That was the setup I was going with if I was keeping my 370z. Also you may want to look into getting the NISMO sways bars, they should fit.

I think it is a great set up on a Z. Poeple who change them out are fairly crazy. I would jump on it for that price and see how it works. If you don't like it PM me and I will buy it from you for my Z.

I just found this out today while installing my zeal coils. The stock G rear strut has the nut welded to the bottom mounting point. If you want it to work, you will need to get a nut that will fit the G's mounting bolt.
