Wait can u clear this up. Ohh okay The AWD(X) version doesn't come with bigger rims, and bigger brakes, but comes with the torso supports, and stiffer shocks, and paddle shifters right? But the G37Sedan only comes with 7AT, sport version comes with bigger rims, and bigger brakes, and everthing else metioned. OH and limited slip diffrentail. I thought none of the versions for 09 came with diff rims?

It's going to be pretty hard to find people on a car enthusiast website that are going to suggest not to get the sport package, this question was kind of useless if you were looking for an objective opinion lol
So here's mine, SPORT FTMFW!!!

Do you switch in winter tires for the winter months? How do summer tires work in snowy condition? In the DC Suburb, we probably get three days per year of snow actually accumulating on the ground.
just go look for people who bought non sport on this site, im pretty sure if not all most of them regret not getting sport..
at least all the ones local to me regret not gettin sport
even thou its a sedan, im sure people are going to love sport

I'd get the sport, no doubt. But just to play devil's advocate, you can add the paddle shifters to the non sport version (since you listed that as one of the things you mainly wanted). There are several DIY guides around on the various sites.
Also the G37xS does not have the sport tuned suspension. Only the 6MT and the Journey w/ the sport package RWD has the above mentioned suspension. Owning a '07X, I wish they offered a Sport package back then so I'd highly suggest you get the sport package.

Yes, you're right. It just doesn't have the bigger brakes or sport tuned suspension. It doesn't have the VLSD either but then again it does have AWD and an electronically controlled centre differential.
