OEM 07 G35/G37X springs work on 06 G35X?

Looking to put 06 G35x back to OEM ride height.....will OEM 07 G35/37X springs work? Are the tension rates the same?

Spring rates will be different, cars have different weights. 2006 is the V35 platform, 2007 (sedan) is the V36 platform.

What are my best after market options to get as close to stock ride height as possible? Right now I'm on Eibach lowering springs and have already had to replace my exhaust cause it's scraped a whole through it.

Unfortunately aftermarket ones are going to lower your car, that's why the aftermarket exists. Why not just source another set of OEM springs?

Having a hard time sourcing some....actually bought some rear springs and now looking for front OEM springs. I'm seeing more '07 X springs available than '06 so wanted to see if they would evenly bring the car evenly back up to stock height.

The first thing to do is figure out what color dot codes you're looking for on the springs. Unfortunately I don't know what dot codes are on an X model.

I just installed the FCS strut/coil spring assemblies on my 05X, install was easy and they feel great. They're the same setup for the 06; go on rockauto and look at them, they're only about $75 USD a piece. Use the 5% discount code 11408673893737228
