Does look like a G37 spring. I remember G37 guys using 370z front springs to lower their G’s, but not the 370z rear springs because it’ll be way too low and soft.

So what do you suggest I do? I just measured my rear springs and they are 13" end to end.

Why is yours red? Is it early Nismo? The paint dots on the new springs are 2 orange spots and a brown spot. My stock springs are 2 greens and a pink. How would I know if I'm getting the correct part when they send me the so called correct springs?

You received the wrong part.

The only way to ensure correct part would be via part number.

I plugged in a 16 Nismo vin and got rear spring part number 55020-1EA0B (confirmed different part number than my 09 Nismo).

Where did you get the spring from?
