That definitely makes sense, yeah. Since that amazing thread was compiled, it seems that many of the springs and shocks mentioned have slowly disappeared. Tokico, fo' instance, doesn't make a single shock, so an OE replacement means you're down to choosing between the same boring KYB's or Monroes that also go on Altimas. I've never even heard of FCS.
My goal is to replace the existing red OEM sport shocks (I'm just assuming they were manufactured by Tokico) and springs with their closest equivalents--that don't drop the car enough to cause problems on America's deteriorating roads. Infiniti parts websites don't even make it obvious whether you can still get the higher spring rate sport springs--I guess I'll have to email a parts department and see what's available.

To find a replacement for your red sport shocks, Sachs might be a good route. Rockauto carries Sachs and tries to post several cross reference numbers. Maybe start your search for a 350z and then compare part numbers within the same brand for a G coupe. If you have to buy used OEM 350z springs for your new 350z part number shocks to work, that won't be too pricey.

Sachs did look interesting on there. They have clearly outlined the different parts for sport vs non-sport coupes, with the different stroke lengths you noted. I'm assuming that shorter compression lengths in the shock pairs with the stiffer, slightly-shorter strings.
