suspension interchange b/w G35c and 350Z

does anyone know if all or any front suspension parts interchange b/w a G35c and a 350z? ie: control arms, coil, strut, etc.

thanks

I was told by several people that the setups are the same, the only difference is the spring rates for the rear. The G is heavier so it was recommended to swap the rear springs out to either application needed.

I just need to replace the passenger front, but everything, it was wrecked and I cannot find the "knee assembly"(everything control arms lower and upper, spring, strut, etc.) at any salvage in the US. then I saw that someone said something about g35/350z parts interchanging and thought I could possibly find these parts easier.

Are the springs the same for the front?
thanks

Actually the OEM spring rates for the Z, the G35c and the sedan with the sport suspension are all the same rate.

314 front & 342 rear.

The only dif is the ride height & shocks. (aprox 1/2" dif between each).
Mounts & control arms are the same part #

so if I got everything except for the spring and strut off of a 350z or g35 sedan and found a strut and spring for a g35c, it should all go together and be the right ride height?

Yes, spring & shock are the only thing different

when you sat 1/2" diff between each, do you mean, sedan>coupe>350z

meaning if i put 0.6" drop 350z springs on a coupe or sedan, it'll lower the coupe 1.1" and the sedan 1.6"????


Thanks!

yah, from the reading, that looks like the case. The 350Z struts are shorter than the coupe and sedan so it will lower it more. (im very glad I did not get the Prokit for the 350z... would've been too low).
