Not sure why the sedan is left off the listings, but coilovers and lowering springs fit both models, although I believe the spring rates might be slightly different.

As I stated before, the Koni dampers are 370Z numbers that were tested at my request by Koni.

There is no, nor will there ever be a sedan part number.

Coupe struts wont fit a sedan.
They are physically different.

I know the X front struts are a different mount, but my coilovers have the same coupe & sedan applications so I would assume the struts would also work at least the way they mount, might be different length though???

They're a low price coil but have been a big upgrade from my lowering springs.
Got about 18k miles on them now and they've been solid. Only con so far is the thin rubber seat between the rear spring adjustment collar and the OEM spring seat causes a bit more noise than the big OEM rubber cone seat. A bit "clacky" over washboard type bumps. That seems to be a common issue w/ all the coilovers that use the OEM separate rear spring setup. The "true" rear coilovers (like the single front units) don't seem to have that issue, or it's not as pronounced.

I haven't read of any issues w/ blown shocks on the latest LP series, There's been a couple threads about some basic coilovers that have had premature failures, you'd have to scroll a bit to find them. A far as the con, it's pretty much the design~to have the separate spring but still have it height adjustable the adjusting collar only has a small amount of area that can be used for cushion, the rest has to be used for the few inches of adjustment range. The true coilover won't have that issue, and for a couple hundred more than the Megans, BC, or other low cost coils the Stance SS coilovers come in either the separate spring (oem setup) or the true coilover, and they come w/ Swift coils from Japan. That would be my choice if I didn't have the budget for KW3s.
Here's a good thread on them

Does Koni, or anyone else for that matter, have dampers for the convertible?

I'm riding fully stock right now and I'm convinced that the dampers are the biggest issue. Slightly firmer springs and a decent sway bar might be nice, but if the dampers are the issue, that would only make things worse if I can't pair them with good damping.

Searching forums and suppliers, the only thing I've found for the convertible is a BC coilover kit. Some suppliers say that the H&R springs and koni shocks fit the convertible. H&R says that their shocks fit the "roadster". The koni site is similarly confusing.
