coilover fitment

Since the G37/370z coupe share similar parts, is it possible for their coilovers to fit on our sedans?

G37 yes, but the 370 may have different spring rates

I don't think different spring rates effect whether or not the coilovers will fit. BLUESLATE installed a set of APEXi coilovers made for the 370z. He had to do a little jury rigging for it to fit, but he said out of the three others he had, they were the best feeling ones.

They will fit yes but spring rates and valving might be a little off due to weight difference between the 3 cars. However I don't think it would matter since it will be stiffer than stock any way.

Wouldn't that be the case if you were to change coilovers?

Thats what i was thinking, because I was talking to some Z guys today and they told me that their coilovers will fit perfectly on our cars.

For those that want to wait, I learned that Eibach is working on a coil over set up for the V36.

They will validate on the Z and the coupe first. Sorry, I don't have a timeline.
