Wow, a lot of useful info here, thanks a lot for the replies guys.
Well as it is now I'd say I'm between the JIC FLT-FAS and the Tein Flex and Mono Flex. I'm thinking I'd rather go with the Tein Mono Flex but it might be too stiff for daily driving. Granted I don't really mind because I personally like the feeling, but it can be somewhat annoying for passengers.

If you're considering the jic, get the flt-tar. It isn't much more, but the construction is much better

From: Toronto, GTA north
2007 coupes are 1st gen
2007 sedans are 2nd gen
Some parts mfgs assume that sedan & coupe are the same for that MY.

The new vendor swat performance on myg37 is the distributor
the next, more important question, is why? Not worth the $$. For that much coin, it better come with an xternal resavoir on the front and rear, but neither the ts nor the mines do. You're paying for (1) the name and (2) the crappy exchange rate. The product is probably good, but no where near that price good

Thanks for the help everyone, I just got the mono flex's put in today and I have to say they are amazing. The ride is a little stiff but in my experience you can't exactly predict how a coilover set is going to behave when they are brand new. I'll put up pictures tomorrow though so you guys can see what you helped with.

Hey All,
I recently purchased a set of H&R coilovers for my g35s sedan (07) Link: http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...odel=G35%204DR . After dropping my car off at the alignment shop that I typically use, I got a call saying that they couldn't apply the coilovers to the front of the car because they just wouldn't fit. The mechanic at the shop then called H&R and was told that apparently some late model 07 g35's were actually released with the 08 suspension, and that H&R doesn't actually support the 08 suspension. Needless to say I'm pretty confused because according to the link off stillen the suspension should work even if my car does have an 08 suspension. I've been frantically calling stillen and H&R to try and get some information but haven't really gotten anything useful. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

03-07 is referring to the G35 coupe since it continued up until the year 2007.
Anytime you see 03-07 means its for the coupe and it probably wouldn't fit you.
Anytime you wanna buy something make sure it fits the G37 coupe first (everything but exhausts, body, etc.) because the coupes are given priority in the whole compatibility department and so you'll see "fits 08+ G37" This means it will also fit the 07+ sedan.
Personally if I had a shop i'd just say fits V35 only or V36 only and stop messing around with the model years.
