Are suspension and other mods the same as with the Coupe?

I'm going to assume that the sedan requires a different suspension setup so suspension mods for the coupe would not actually be technically correct for the sedan even if they might fit.

Just wanted some confirmation on that.

I'm guessing there aren't as many aftermarket options for the sedan since less sedan owners will mod their cars than coupe owners.

Just curious because the sedan would be a more practical option for me this time around and I'm considering one but not sure if I'd be happy if I couldn't find a good set of coilovers or exhaust designed to work with the sedan.

I believe that Teins will be releasing sedan coilovers after the coupe versions.

How many model years has the G37/V36 Coupe been out now and Tien's just getting around to releasing coilovers. They seem to be a bit slow to release.

Coil overs should be the same for V36 sedans and coupes. Amplified Motorsports put the same JIC on both cars. There is another member on G35driver that has the prototype Tein coil overs on his V36 sedan already. Those have not been officially released yet though.

Stock spring rates for V36 sedans and coupes are different tough.

I noticed your tire wide is a 275. What is the width of your wheel?
