Yes, you will need to replace with the coupe sport shocks. It is a different spring rate than the regular coupe or sedan w/ sport suspension. It ends up pretty even. I did the same on my sedan. It took me about 6 hours total if you have any questions let me know.

Here are some quick pics from my phone to give you an idea.





This is the rear driver's side.

Yes it should give you ~1" drop on the "X".

I thought that the Front Shocks on the X are different from any other G35.
So the Coupe Front Shocks will not fit, But the rears will. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Springs front and back are the same though.

^^^ You are correct. I used 350z front and coupe in there rear. Here is a pic of mine. I am on 20" Sevas. Man I think I should sell my stock 17 and get some coupe 18 for my winter tires. They do look good.

I thought the Coupe Shocks and Sedan Sports Shocks were the same?

I think FlyingLumpia meant springs & not shocks....I'm 99% sure you're right.
