How can I tell if I have sport suspension?

Just bought an 06 G35 coupe a/t, I can see it doesn't have the Bembro breaks but how can I tell if it has the sport tuned suspension or not?.. And if I do does it effect anything like wheel options etc..? It has factory spoiler and metal plated pedals..no nav but seems to have all the other options.. Is there maybe a way to tell from vin? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Cool, thanks. Anything special I should know?.. Wheels tires breaks etc.. Or is the fact that it's non bembro all I need to worry about when shopping for those things?

you'll be fine man
Brakes from the 03-04 without Brembo were smaller I believe so obviously searching within your year will yield you good results
The brakes (again non Brembo) were upgraded in 05 and forward

Brembos were only an option on the 03-04 models.

Does your steering wheel have orange stitching? That's probably the easiest way to tell if you have the sport package. Also the front bumper is different (can't tell from that pic). Spoilers can be added. The main difference will be the stiffer rear spring rates and a beefier front sway bar.
