KW VARIANT 3 COILOVERS fit 2011?

Im seeing conflicting data from web site and ebay resellers.

Will these work on a 2011 g37 sedan?

Thanks in advance

I have the non X, journey model. Some sites show only through 2010 for these. Be interested to see if anybody here has them on their 2011.

2010 through 2012 are the exact same. I believe the same KWs will fit even older models. I am getting mine installed next week.

The X models have different lower strut mounts so it will have to be coilovers designed specifically for the X.
I find it strange that although the coupe & sedan use the same coilovers most sites rarely list the sedan, it only shows compatibility for coupes. Guess they must think sedans aren't "coilover worthy" no respect

MACS'

how much drop did you get and did you need a suspension kit to correct the alignment?

I'm not exactly sure how much I dropped it, to be honest. I just told them I wanted a 1 finger gap between the wheel and the fender well. I can just barely fit a finger between the wheel and the well. At this height, I am able to adjust the alignment at it's max limit of -1.8 on all corners with no camber kit.

I just ordered new tires again. My 3rd set and I only have 24,650 miles on it. The stock bridgestones lasted about 8500 and the hankook v12's lasted 16k. I am going with Falken Azenis in a W rating (instead of Y). They have a 40k mile tread warranty. I realize I'll be giving up performance, but f***... I can't keep shelling out $900 a year for tires.

In addition, I have an appointment at West End Alignment to have it raised just a bit and 4 corner balanced and aligned. If I raise it up a bit, I'll be able to get the negative camber closer to specs, too.

I need to slow my speedy **** down, anyway...
