Coupe Suspension fit on the Sedan?

I am looking to buy some used coilovers from a G37 coupe, and I was wonder if it would fit a 08 sedan. I have look up the parts number for the KW's coilover, the coupe and sedan are one number apart. I was wondering if that would make any difference?

They would really make the same suspension for cars with different weight distributions and overall total weight? That seems really weird to me. I would also think that different part numbers mean different parts. Maybe the valving is slightly different or there may be different spring rates front to back. I would contact KW and check with them!

That's why the same springs give a different drop amount for the sedan and the coupe. They have the same part number for both applications. There's no difference in the valving or anything else. They are the same.

Wow, that is really kind of sad, but I guess what you get when you only pay 200 for them. Personally, I'd rather pay twice as much for something matched to my car with an even drop all around instead of the droopy butt of springs on a sedan, especially an awd sedan!

Yeah, KW coilovers are crap - everybody knows that.

Let me know where you get them for $200. I want to buy them all up.

Count me in for $200 KW coilovers. I thought I got a good deal for my H&R springs for $350.00 but I obviously dont know how to buy suspension parts

Omg, give me a break. I had it in my head for springs because that is what I am looking at for this car. Forgot we were talking about coilovers. And I have coilovers on one of my other cars.

Go buy some BC coilovers if you want crap and cheap
