Small Questions Thread: Brakes and Suspension

Sedans with sports package have the same shocks as the base model coupe. KYB makes good OEM quality parts, and can be purchased at most auto parts stores.
KYB only has one part number for sedans and base model coupes, so you should be fine with those (free upgrade for the non-sport owners). The other part number from KYB is for Coupes w/ sport package and for 350Z's.

They'll physically fit, but are designed for the firmer spring rates found in the 350Z/sport coupes. The sedan/base coupe have softer springs.
You might have to search around to see if it's a good or bad thing, because I'm not sure. I just know there's a relation between spring rates and shock design. And for some reason is sticks in my head that using 'firm' shocks on soft springs causes them to wear out prematurely.

but you're sure they'll fit on the sedan?

What else do I need to get for sway bar install
Hey guys, I tried using the search but it didn't help to much and I don't want to miss anything.
I just ordered hotchkis front and rear sway bars for my 04 G35 coupe. Suspension wise my car is bone stock. It comes with greasable bushings and brackets. What else do I need/should I get to make the install as good as possible.
Thanks guys!
