How can I tell if my 2003 G35 Sedan has sports suspension or not? And what are my options at upgrading the suspension, I hear people are changing with the 350Z Springs, how much of a difference does this make and whats the cheapest place to find it, someone said they got the springs for $105 Shipped

 

Sport has red shocks

 

Hmm, Now I gotta go look for those lol

 

it also have black stock sway bars

 

Five wheel spokes too. Non-sport have six.

 

Is that the same for 2005? Also does the 2005 sport AT sedan have the Viscous Limited-Slip Differential?

Thanks!

 

If you have the 18 inch wheels your 05 AT sedan has the limited slip...

 

Shocks aren't red for the 06 sport, they're black.

 

mine our red

 

^ thats weird... My 05 has red shocks... Why would 06 be different?


Dont we all have black sways?

 

Now here's why I'm confused. I just got on 03 sedan with the assumption that it was a non-sport, no 5 spoke rims. Then I went and looked at the shocks and they are red? Could there have been a switch of the wheels at the dealer? Any other things to look at besides wheels, shocks, and sways?

Confused.

 

Don't know why there is the change, but my 06 sport has black struts, along with the ones I looked at when I went back to the dealership (saleman thought I doing the tire kick routine....) also another member here verified the same thing. If you guys still have your window sticker check out what is says, I know on mine is said "AX35 Edition"

Bowzer, other than the stocks and wheels, that's about all there is except the 05-06, which get a LSD.

 

Hmm....maybe I have a sport and didn't realize it, since I just got the car this could be possible. It's a little added bonus if true.

 

I know you are going to find it hard to believe, but, even on these boards, there are unscrupulous people who actually change the rims on our beautiful cars!

 

Hi,

I think I know where the confusion comes from. You have to look through the wheels to see the RED shocks. If you look at the suspension above the tire, you would see the BLACK COVER.

So with you guys help, I believe my 05 has the "Sport-tuned Suspension Package" because it has:
1) 5-spoke, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels
2) 235/45R18 W-rated summer performance tires
3) red shocks
4) mini-spare tire (which tells me it came with the premium package B which in turns go with the sport package. Package C goes with the non-sport and that comes with the full size spare.)

Thanks Guys. Mystery solved (for me, at least)!
