Factory rwd sedan springs

Can anyone run out to their garage and measure the length of their OEM front sedan springs? Rwd only please. Thanks!

Wow this section of the forum moves fast...So I have some added info may help people out.

370z OEM front springs measure 12.25" in length non compressed

I had an eBay shop measure a set of coupe sport front springs that come in at 12.75" non compressed

The front end of the sedan, coupe and 370z should all be fairly equal in weight so I would presume that swapping springs would be fine between them. Only thing that may SLIGHTLY concern me is valving in the OEM struts. This could be cured with a set of aftermarket struts though for those wanting slightly lower stance without too much drop. Even swifts are too low for me plus they make the butt look more squatty.

Just measured my OEM RWD Journey Sedan non-sport springs~13" front & back (just the springs sitting in a box, not mounted in the struts).

Does anyone have measurements for g37 standard coupe springs? I am assuming the sport coupe and standard coupe are the same since the sport sedan and standard sedan are the same but would like to get definite answers

370Z springs are also of course meant for lower weight so a G will compress them even further. The coupes are usually heavier, though.

Working on pulling together possibly useful info here...

1. A guy on the 370z forum stated the OEM 370z coupe springs up front are roughly 420lb springs

2. Swift advertises spring rate for g37 coupe up front for THEIR springs at about 440lbs

3. Swift advertises their rate for g37 sedan up front at about 540lb

Now I need to try and track down the OEM g37 sedan amd coupe spring rate somewhere unless someone can point me in the right direction here?

Also, interestingly enough, swift markets the X sedan with a lower spring rate around 440lbs
