^That should be ok. They will put a little more strain on your shocks though, but they shouldn't outright kill them like the non-sport shocks.
I would browse through this thread and others like it and PM any members you find that are running or have ran revised springs on sport shocks.
Ideally though, run 350Z shocks/struts if you can find them. That's what I did and everything has worked out great.

HELP PLEASE Z to G35X swap
I bought the set up off an 05 Z and thought it was a direct swap onto the G35X (06). My mechanic is telling me the front shocks don't bolt up the same way to the control arm and that he thinks the swap would only work on a RWD G. Anyone run into this before? What am I missing...

It depends. The unrevised 03-04 rear Z springs are about a 1/2" shorter than the 03-07 G35 coupe rear spring. So running an unrevised Z spring will be slightly lower on the sedan than a G35 rear spring. So yes there is a difference....
however, when they revised the Z and G spring to the 427lb rate in 2005, the Z spring was lengthened to the same length as the G35 rear spring. Both the 2005+ Z and G35 coupe rear springs are essentially the same, so there wont be any gap difference if you go the revised route.
IMO the rear G35 coupe or revised Z rear spring looks the best and offers a more even and balanced look.

Oh, also of note, revised springs actually started in 2004.5 (on the Z at least) not 05.
