If my HKS Hipermax III sports would bolt right up into the Z34, I would go ahead and do it since the weight difference between the 06 G35 Coupe doesn't seem to be much from a Z34 touring. But I don't think it'll be possible since it seems that HKS might go with a true coilover in the rear for the Z34 as they did with the G37. |

I'm interested in seeing what the design difference is. Would definitely be funny if they end up just needing to change out the bottom mount =]

DD, part numbers for Infiniti and Nissan are oftentimes very different, but for the same part. And most of the guys at Nissan parts don't know how to properly cross reference parts.
It would be very out of the norm, if Nissan created completely different suspenson parts for the 370Z. To keep costs low, Nissan has always shared suspenson and drivetrain components with it's Infiniti counterpart. I have no doubt they will bolt on. But as for spring rates, they will be off...maybe better...who knows. Just covering my ***...I havent test fit anything yet.

I thought it unlikely too, but the fact that some part numbers are the same and some are different throw me off.

I don't know if this ever got an answer… I did a lot of research and I couldn't find anything definitive. Maybe I just missed it. I believe since the G37 is heavier, it will have different spring rates. I talked to Taylor at BC RACING and he stated that the G37 uses taller shocks and springs, but didn't answer my original question of "do they have different valving and springs rates?" So, I decided to buy a set of G37 BC BR coil overs to see if they work for myself. I will post a reply once I install and find out if this is just BS they use to cover their own butt.
