Bilstein Shocks/Struts for 2006 G35 coupe - Part number Issues

Good day all;


I've spent quite a bit of time searching this & other forums to find out which Bilstein products were compatible with my stock un-lowered coupe;


I've included some web links below that show the B6 & B8 shock/struts listed with the same part numbers;

Even Bilstein's USA web site does not help as the online catalogue does not even show a suggested product for the G35;


The Tdot web site is where I was planning to purchase the struts/shocks along with a set of TEIN High techs (the springs give a slight lowering for the coupe);


Anyway was just curious if anyone on here sees any issues with running the Bilsteins with the TEINS on my coupe; I can return them to Tdot if there is any fitting issue; thanks


Jim

So you've already bought them? People here recommend Tokico blues that I plan to replace my Oem parts with eventually.

I too am installing the Bilstein B8 performance strut and shocks this summer. I'm running Tanabe NF210s on my 05 coupe.

Check out Z1 motorsports. They carry Bilstein struts and shocks. That's were I'll be getting mine.

Ok....the Canadian company (Tdotperformance.ca). I was going to buy the Bilsteins from is now telling me that the Bilstein USA site does not have any product listed for my 2006 G35 coupe. No ****....


Anyway I may just follow the advice of another senior member here who said "Just get some KYB's & call it a day..." lol


The car actually handles pretty good as it is (stock) just I felt it was time to refresh the shocks/struts & add a Hotchkis sway set & upgraded endlinks;
