Coupe sport shocks

I have found some OEM coupe sport shocks and springs. Are these what I need to replace my OEM Sedan non sport shocks?

I plan to put Tein S-techs on and I know that my non sport shocks will take a beating if I go lower then the H-techs.

Can anyone answer this for me?

Thanks you!

They will still take a beating but your getting it for cheap so thats alright. The best thing for springs would probaly tokico struts.

If I'm dropping 6 bills, it's coil overs not tokicos.

What's the spring rate on the S Techs? The sport coupe shocks are made to handle a 427 lb spring rate so they are plenty sturdy IMO, and in fact may overdamp if the Teins are significantly less stiff. Length may actually be your deciding factor.

Front spring rate is 360lbs and rear is 270

Are the coupes 427 all the way around?

This should be okay then right? What is the rating on the stock Sedans? (non sport)

non-sport sedans are 283f/308r. The 03-04 coupes have the same spring rates as the sport sedan, 314f/384r. The 04.5-07 coupes have the revised rears at 427.

You sure you have those the right way around? Usually the rears are stiffer.

Here you go, Grasshopper:

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004 (unrevised)
Front:314 Rear:342

Oem linear springs
G35 sedan's with non sport
Front: 283 Rear: 308

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2006 (revised suspension)
Front:314 Rear:427

Blain, I have a set each of sport sedan and unrevised 350z REAR shocks you can have for the price of shipping.

I presume you want the Z shocks since they're shorter. Okay, when the weather clears up I'll find out how much to ship. Should be cheap. PM me your shipping address.
