will the 2009-2011 suspension fit on a 2005

Hello.

I'm looking to replace the shocks, and potentially the springs (back), and struts up front. The stock setup is too mushy and won't deal well with a fully loaded car (family vacation mode).

I put in a stiffer anti-sway bar up front -- this was a nice reduction in cornering roll. Other than that, I'm stock.

All the aftermarket stuff lowers the car 1 - 2 inches. I don't want that because it will mess up the camber, and I don't want a pimped-out looking ride. I'm OK with up to a 3/4 inch drop, but not more than that.

So... I'm interested in knowing if the suspension from the newer g35 sedan will fit on a 2005. Anyone know ?

I suspect there are others that want a slightly stiffer ride and an ability to carry a family without lowering the car 2 inches.

So you want to replace all the shocks all around, the springs in the back, and the struts in the front?

I think before you buy anything, you might want to learn what the stock suspension consists of..

So do you. We don't have shocks all around.

What do I need to learn?

The fact that we have two struts up front and two shocks in the back?

You need to learn what sarcasm is..
