g37/370z coupe coilovers onto v36 sedan

Is anyone running 370Z or G37 coupe coilovers on their V36 sedan? Some 370Z guys have told me that it was possible, but when i was calling a few shops they themselves did not know. Need some help here guys.

If it is possible does it require some modification to the coilover to make it fit?

I don't think it would fit on an x sedan.

Are you running coupe front and rear camber arms as well?

The suspensions are the same I believe. The only thing is the spring rates will be different between the two cars based on the weight being different.

My HKS coils are the same as the ones on the coupe.

Why not just get the ones that were made for the sedan & call it a day? What's the benefit putting coupe stuff on a sedan? Not bein a jackass....would like to understand since I know nothing about this.

Higher spring rates on a lighter car means more oversteer fun! LOL honestly its like the same thing, same chassis, suspension and only a 100 pound difference.

Reviving an old thread...but does this work the other way around?? I mean.. Does a G37 sedan coilover work on the G37 coupe??

I know it fit...but not sure if it would work well with the coupe? I mean handling and comfort-wise...Im talking about the Tein Comfort Sport which does not have a coupe version
