Appreciate all the updates! Sucks this is happening. At least it's the rears and not the fronts. If you have any mechanical ability whatsoever swapping the taller dampers for what you have will be cake.

If I'm not mistaken the Stance coilovers are actually made in Japan. I'd still take those over the Taiwan FA's. I will never ever buy another set of Taiwan made coilovers.

wow. Sorry to hear about your ordeal Coltrane....I wonder if the confusion comes from the fact that there are two different G35x sedan chassis from which the supplier could have reworked the parts. One has identical suspension to the G37 and is on the same chassis as the g37(the V36 chassis) and the other is completely different (the V35 chassis)....I see parts mislabeled b/c of this all over the place. One time I was even sold a pair of endlinks from a very "reputable" local supplier who apparently didn't know the difference, but insisted they were correct parts for my V36 G35x....

further complicating the labeling of parts for suppliers who think they can market parts for broader applications and make more $$ (Which sometime works fine) is that both chassis were used for the G35 in 2007 lol (v35 for the coupe and v36 for the sedan)....


anyways good luck i hope someone *cough* your supplier, does the right thing

Yes, it was the suggestion that Stance was MIJ that prompted me to acquire the XR1 coilover. My logic was MIJ vehicle MIJ coilover.

Thank you, and others who've contacted me, for your support. It's greatly appreciated.

So did you receive the new damper?

Coltrane1

So good to their word, today I received an overnighted set of XR1 replacement dampers apparently created by Stance for a G37x sedan.

Their length appear as if one will have an appropriate amount of height adjustment while still maintaining a safe amount of damper seated into the lower bracket.

Kudo's to Stance for following through with their assistance to partially set this transaction right. I'm in standby mode waiting to hear what Stance can or will do with the supplier to either reimburse me to the degree that I can have these newly acquired "G37x dampers" installed.

Coltrane1

Yes, see ^^

Looking forward to the install, hopefully you can get everything adjusted properly.

Fingers X'd. But I don't have the funds to pay for another install at the moment.

On another note, while doing some research today -

I've discovered that the individual who I'd been speaking to several times, after my incorrect "g35x" c/o's had been shipped and later installed, who more than once later insisted they must have been installed incorrectly, and were without a doubt a proper application fit for a G37x sedan - Is the secretary of the company.

Sure hoping this has a happy ending, looks like you'll at least get the G sitting like you wanted from the start, hopefully more help with the install $$$ will get you back to a happier place. Nice to hear they shipped that longer damper ASAP, so that's a big step in the right direction.

Coltrane1

Thanks blnewt! But you know what? What's happened in my transaction isn't the first time this has happened to forum members here. I've spoken to another member whose had the identical experience. Reportedly, his vendor did not advise of the availability of an appropriate damper. It was further suggested that vendor is still here. What's wrong with that picture?

I'm new here, and not a pot stirrer. But there's a point when one has to stand up for truth telling - Or not.

update - Today I had a long conversation with the supplier. Shortly afterwards the supplier and Stance made a decision to share the expense of a $300 refund of my original install fees.

I agreed to absorb new alignment fees after a reassembly of the rears and corrected dampers are installed.

I applaud both Stance and the supplier for making an effort to reconcile what was an obvious mistake on my shipment.

I am glad this is working out better for you. Please do keep us updated. I am following this thread closely as well.

Any updates?

I'm sitting on the sofa of the suspension shop waiting room at this very moment. Rear camber kit just installed. C/O's being installed. Hoping for no noise from the rear.
