Stock suspension?

Just bought an 04 g35 coupe from the stealership. previous owner claims to have spent 3gs on an aftermarket suspension. The car does have a tein decal(soon to be deleted) but the suspension may be stock.

car came equiped with 20' staggered niche wheels, tires are wearing evenly, bout a 2 finger gap on back and front. springs and shocks are black and look the same age as the car. suspension is very rigid though.

stock?
thanksDOMO

What are you really running on....?

Tein springs are gold unlike the decal, so apparently the stealership fed you the same bull **** they got from the previous owner. With a 2" gap you most likely have the factory suspension....sorry! I've changed everything under my G and I don't believe I spent $3K unless you have "Coilovers!" Check that out, do you know what coilovers are and what they look like?
This could be fun or very disapointing....

You my friend, are rolling stock. It is so stiff because the 20's will have a very small sidewall. If the rear shocks are red, you may have coupe sport suspension (at least that is the way it is with sedans).
