No, the sport / non sport coupes have different springs and shocks (in the back at least)

how do i know if they are sport or non sports for the coupe?? i know for sedan the color of the shock tell you if they are sport or not.
what is the difference in term of spring rates??

i was thinking the coupe shocks and spring will lower my ride a little bit also give a little bit stiffer than my sedan sports suspension.

^Coupe sport rear springs/shocks are the same as 350Z "revised" springs/shocks (provided the coupe is new enough)

If the coupe had oem 19's, it's a sport. If it's a 6MT, it's a sport.

The easiest way to check if all you have to go off of is the springs/shocks themselves, is that the spring will have two red dots and a purple dot.
Non-sport has three red dots IIRC.

yes, i check they have 2 red dots and a purple dot on them. so if i put them on, it will be stiffer than original sport sedan suspension?

also i know it will lower my car about .5inch. do i need a camber kit?

^Yes it will be stiffer, but only slightly, and in a good way (like, less bouncy/squishy, not bone-jarring by a long shot)
It may lower your car as much as 1"
No, you don't need a camber kit, just an alignment... might want to have them use 350Z specs.
