those probably won't fit the V36 I think its just a typo on what models it's for unless the 350Z and V35's use the same coilovers as the V36 which I doubt it.

I agree that it looks like a typo. A lot of people, for whatever reason, assume that since the coupe changed to the V36 frame in 2008 that the sedan is the same. We changed in 2007. Another clue that they are confusing years is that they specifically omit the 2008 G35 which takes the same suspension as the 07. The application should stop at the 06 sedan or include the 08. You should check before you buy to avoid the hassle of returning the box.

I guess I can see H&R making that mistake since they produce springs for a ton of cars but shame on Stillen who once were specialists with the Nissan brand.

Just noticed something, Stillen lists it as fitting 03 to 08 but H&R list it as fitting 03 to 07. So definitely an error somewhere.

I emailed Stillen just to be sure. They came back saying that it will fit the 03-07 sedan, same as the H&R site but different from their own webpage.

I tried to clarify the situation just to be sure that they mean what they say and because it sounded like the rep just read it off of a spec sheet. We know what the H&R spec sheets say but 1) it conflicts with the Stillen site and 2) they were probably both wrong. I will post their final response and we can hold them to it or have them give us double our money back if it doesn't fit since I asked twice.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that it does fit but I honestly don't think that is the case.

Thanks a lot bro. That saved a few members from buying this.

I hope it does fit too but I wouldn't buy it myself, but other members might.
Ugh, I hate when stillen does this.

I am going to presume most of the X driver are on the east coast and the ones on the west r almost none modders. Most of the manufacturers are located on the west coast. There have been times where companies extended their arms to the X drivers but noone reached back. They have asked for X drivers to bring their cars in to test fit but no1 goes. I've gotten to the point where they wanted my front suspension to test fit for some coilovers and all of a sudden communication stopped... Things will change once more ppl have the G37x coupe, i mean look they already have springs and a front camber kit for the X's now. It's only a matter of time before coilovers come out.
