It looks the same. All the springs,shocks,struts on the z, g coupe and g sedan are interchangeable. The rear is a shock not a strut. Really the only time its an issue is if your just changing your springs. If you wanna change both you can get a matching set right from a 350z and pop it right in.

2) They handle & corner better than our OEM springs
3) They help out fellow G/Z owners by taking them off their hands (if they go w/ aftermarket springs)
4) They're much cheaper than going with an aftermarket setup
5) They're a practical drop for our cars IMO. Slammed cars look hot, but in my world, living in New England & having 2 kids, it's not practical to go any lower (i've already cracked my 2 front splash guards from being lowered). New ones on the way.....
6) Recycling is good for the environment
7) Why not?

Colored-dots for ID purposes
For 350Z springs--will drop a sedan 1" on all 4 corners.
Fronts are 314 spring rate and have 1 pink dot and 1 orange dot. Coils are tighter and most have the rubber sleeve on them.(2007-2008 models have 1 white and 1 orange dot) Tech farmer mentioned some z springs front may have only 1 pink dot z front are confusing
Rears(revised,2004.5+) are 427 spring rate and have 2 red dots and 1 purple dot.
(2007-2008 models have 2 red dots and 1 blue dot)
Rears(unrevised 2003,some 2004) are 342 spring rate and have 2 red dots and 1 white dot.(1 white dot)

Rear Spring height comparison
Here is a picture comparing the rear spring heights. The G35 coupe spring is about 1/2" shorter than the sedan. The 350Z spring is just a little more than 1/2" shorter than the Sedan spring.
