I'll say it - you should've done more (re)searching. Not sure where you're getting conflicting information on this - it's been well-known around the forums for a long time that suspension parts (ie springs/shocks/camber kits/etc) are pretty much interchangeable between the 350z/g35 coupe/sedan RWD. Any post/thread that tries to refute this is wrong.

For anyone else looking or asking this q in the future - read the existing faq's and stickies around the forum first:

Q - What options are there for the G sedan?
Anything currently on the market that fits the coupe or 350Z will also fit the RWD sedan. BUT, if it is not sedan specific be aware that anything from the 350Z will lower the sedan 1" more and coupe parts will lower the sedan 0.5" more than they list. The stock Z springs will lower the sedan ~1" and the stock coupe springs will lower the sedan ~0.5".

Aftermarket springs for the other cars will fit the AWD sedan, coilovers will not Note the springs will lower it 0.5" more than the RWD sedan.

Just posting this to provide information for more informed choices.

NOTE!: Any aftermarket 350Z spring will lower a coupe a additional ½” over and beyond the published drop amount for the 350Z. For sedan owners, the same applies to you, except you will gain a additional 1”, not just ½”
