i don't know if this is any useful info, but the stock sway bars are marked with a red dot. Maybe indicating sport sway bars?

Not sure how you can double check but it says it on the dealer spec sheet, along with VLSD which I have checked out by spinning the rear wheel when my car was on a lift...they both spun the same direction.
No way man? I never knew any of this, I thought we had the sport wheels, but not the suspensions and not VLSD, Do you know if we have the sports breaks? are they different in anyway?

Well I just looked at the bars that were taken off when I installed the Hotchkis bars and they both have red squares no them, not dots I'm guessing that's the same thing

we have sport brakes and VLSD. without the VLSD i wouldn't be able to drift or do any of the donuts I've been doing and you can tell we have the sport brakes from the caliper design. sport and journey have different calipers.

Yeah man, our cars have the sport brakes too.
GCC spec cars have all the good things of a Sport model, except in the shape of a Journey.
Only things we don't get are the sport seats, 6MT, and a couple insignificant options like the hard drive and flash card reader.

Do 370Z, G37 coupe and 2nd gen sedan shocks all mount the same or are interchangeable?

If so, Ohlins now has a 370Z coilover suspension out and so do you.

I would go with KW or HKS before JIC.

KW Ewwwwww, sorry man but I have a think against KW, they're just plain $hite to me <----(personal preference). I haven't looked at the HKS ones, got a linky to what type of HKS coilovers you're referring to?

^ That's perfect dude, because I've just placed an order for the JIC-Magic FLT-TAR Coilovers, Yay!!!

I've been hit with the mod bug hard this past month, I've got over $3.5k worth of goodies in FL waiting to be shipped to me, can't wait for it all to arrive!! I'd be lucky if it all arrives by the end of the month.

Good goly, your money tree is in full bloom huh? I thought tress didn't grow too well in that desert over there Mind sending some over to me

You won't be disappointed with your choice. FYI, the HKS is made in China. That may or may not matter to some, but it is.

The bug is biting at me again, I'm just trying to figure out what to buy next.

lol, no trees don't grow here, well palm trees do . I think it all hit after installing the HFCs and ARBs, it just got me back into the swing of things. Plus I don't plan to do much after this, maybe just some cosmetic changes, and maybe a year or two down the line a TT hehe.

Also another reason for spending this money is because I thought if I get hitched anywhere down the line then my other half won't be able to say anything to me about modding the car since most things will already be on

What have you already got on your ride? cause your sig doesn't help much

you ordered the JIC's??!! ahhh you're not making this easy for me man! haha. You know we'll need a FULL review of these once you get them installed right?

I'm still not sure which coilovers to get. There's the JICs which are great but pricey, then there's the Tein which are EDFC compatible but they're even more $$, then there's the Tanabe which are the cheapest but have no damping adjustments....
