I think he is looking for the coil-over conversions that comes with a threaded collar and spring that goes over your stock (or aftermarket) strut. Like the ones made by Skunk2.

Ive never seen anything.

I dont think that they make a kit like that for our cars. I have never heard of or seen them listed for the G35/350z.

I would do some comparison shopping and decide whats the most important attribute, and what you can sacrifice (adjustability in rebound/dampening, ride quality,etc).

I think you can probably find a review on most any of the coilovers listed in the second link by doing a search under the brand name. I have seen reviews for Tanabe, MDU, and Tein.
Check the classifieds, there are usually a few sets for sale.

The reason for that is because coil sleeves are ghetto.

Buy real coils...
