Not a bad price. I think the vendors on here are pretty competitive with their pricing. PM them and compare. You really can't go wrong.

My only concern with these coilovers is that a few of the vendor sites explicitly say NOT compatible with the G37 (even though KW says so). I've been told that the G37 and 370Z have "basically" the same suspensions. Does "basically" mean that it's like 95% compatible with some custom work needed, or will it bolt right on to the G37 with 100% no problem? With so many folks here rocking the V3s, I'd imagine the latter, but I just want to be sure. Thanks.

Thruth ?

Is it thruth that KW V1 coil overs fir for both RWD G37's (coupe and sedan) ?
I am in the way to get something to lower and improve driving for my sedan, and the local dealer is about to confirm if 100% sure.

But would like to ask other KW V1 users.
Thanks
