350z shocks

i know the Z springs fit on the g35 but what about the shocks?
i have the sports package 2005 g35 sedan
i got it a while ago and everytime i drive on a bumpy road i hear rateling and clickin when i turn, viabration and heavy viabration when i turn right over 40mph
i went to the mechanic he said change the bushings for the clicking sound and the front shock on the right side (the red one) need to be replaced. would shocks of a 350z fit? and if am not mistaken the red shocks which are sports and that there are normal ones,
so when locking for z shocks can i get any z shocks or do they have sports and non sports shocks?

Thanks guys
and please bare with me this is my 1st car and am not really familier with mechanical stuff

They will swap out as far as I know. Your sport suspension is just an option..

I run sportlines with 350z shocks and they work great! I don't know why more people don't run them. They're shorter than our sport shocks and are a cheap alternative to expensive aftermarket ones.

No difference in sport/non-sport shocks on the Z afaik. They will be a bit shorter, so with your longer-than-Z sedan springs, that may affect whether they 'top out' after the suspension compresses and comes back to the top. Good opportunity to just change out your whole suspension for Z parts.

I am thinking wheel bearings.

As for the shocks, they will probably top out so I would do as one of the above posters said and change out the suspension if you are into lowering. If not, buy Tokico HP's (blues) for the G sedan and replace them as they go out. I ordered mine (for a Z) from THMotorsports and they gave me a good price. They are vendors on this site.
