Classy, aggressive, and clean. Great balance between a mean stance and appearance and a classy, luxurious look. Excellent.

I went with the G D-Specs.
Valving is the same.
My concern was that the Z D-Specs may have been sized for a Z with a drop.

The G D-Spec is sized for the coupe & are shorter than the
OEM sedan sport shocks.

For any coupe application(w drop) def go with Z shocks.
For sedan any drop greater than OEM Z springs I'd go with
Z D-Specs.

For my appl. I probably could have gone either way with no issues.

Bottom line these things are amazing.
Far superior control & a better ride to boot.

Duty/brokerage charges ???

I love the new pics of your ride. Amazing.

What courier did Justin use in sending the bumper to you? UPS or Fedex? Was just wondering because I've seen posts on this forum that have stated the brokerage fees charged by UPS are horrendous.

How long did it take Justin/everythingG35 to ship the bumper to you?

It's def cheaper....
JMHO, but I like the cleaner look better.
The sides are not really that much different &
The rear valance did not really appeal to me anyway.

They ship the bumpers surface (truck) it's too large for couriers.
So, you have to make your own brokerage arrangements.
We have a customs broker at work so that really wasn't an issue for me.

Wait so are you saying that the DSpecs for the 350Z are shorter than the OEM 350Z shocks? And that the DSpecs for the G-Coupe are shorter than the OEM G-Coupe shocks? I thought there was no height difference.

No, not really....
I said
"The G D-Spec is sized for the coupe & are shorter than the
OEM sedan sport shocks."
and
"My concern was that the Z D-Specs may have been sized for a Z with a drop."
I'm not sure the actual size of the Z D-Specs
