simple question. can i use shocks from a 2nd gen sedan on my 2003 sedan?came up on a great deal for these and since im looking to replace my oem ones im really interested

 

this should have been asked in the little question thread that we made just for something like this ... but you had to start a new thread .. any reason why ...

https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...on-thread.html

 

bc i wanted to. bc i signed up on this forum to bc i can bc i did. your acting like G35 driver cop. youve been trolling all the threads doing this same **** its getting kinda annoying. now, do you have an answer or not?

 

2nd gen should fit. because its still a g35 (if im correct on fitment) for sure the g37 doesnt complete new suspension

 

yes it will fit i have a buddy with a 2nd gen using our 05-06 sedan s techs :-) so therefor you can use their shocks and be fine G spot ... :-) good deal = buy them

 

right thats what i thought bc i looked for them online to see n compare images and i called a couple of vendors but no one could give me a definite amswer. i think ill take the leap. and SocialConflicts i appreciate you not b*tching about my question. its a difficult one and ive done my research. was gonna post in the "Random little question thread" but that thread is full of shooting the ****

 

we are shooting the **** in there cause no one has asked questions so we use it as a useless random thread as well so it stay at the top on the sedan section ... i wasn't coming on as a a$$ so relax... but now you know

 

cool im just saying that i did think about posting there but i figured no one would respond

 

I thought the 2nd gen shocks cant be used on first gens because they are a little different design.

 

really ??? hmm ill have to do some research .. i could have sworn it would work ... why all the sudden they would change the design on the shocks on a newer G...

 

I thought the same thing, that they are not interchangeable. Otherwise coilovers for our cars would work for 2nd Gen Sedans.

 

Because there are always small revisions over time that leads to incompatibility.

The 2nd gens don't even have compression rods anymore, so I'm sure the front suspension has been redesigned enough to not need them.

 

Ok... let's stop assuming stuff, lest we make asses out of each other...

OP, By "2nd Gen" are you talking about the 05/06 sedans or the 07+ sedans?

 

Oh also... as for the "random little question" thread.... yes, there is a bunch of random banter going on, that keeps the thread bumped up to the top... but there are also a number of knowledgeable individuals that are subscribed to that thread.
So if you ask a question in there, everyone who's sub'd gets an email, whereas if you make a new thread, we won't see it until we're browsing the site.

 

im refferring to 07-08 sedans. and about the thread, i havent seen much progress in it. ive been following it and ithink its a great idea but i think the talking has maybe driven some people from posting there (thats what happ w me)
