There are no V1 or V2 made at all - no idea if they will, or won't, as the V3 was the most popular for the 350Z, and I suspect will be for the 370Z as well
really? no v2 made for the 370z? then why does that yellow 370z the guy posted on here have them?

I guess there is a fine line between asking a question and arguing. Probably even moreso since apprantly you don't have the car, yet are in tons of threads asking question after question. There certainly is room in a forum for fans of a car who aren't owners - but maybe a better course of action is to just take a step back for a second and take the time to just read and learn, vs questioning everything. Does it matter if there is a V2, or a V3, or a V94,156, if you don't have the car anyway? Call me crazy

As mentioned in post #65, it's clearly a typo. As I mentioned earlier, the only coilover made is the V3, and it's technically for the G37. There are 0 official 370Z part #'s as of now (the G37 kit fits and works well as mentioned), and there is no V1 nor a V2 now, or planned for the immediate future for either platform.

Thats toohip, and he'll tell you that the Altered page has it incorrect and he had the variant 3 installed. But to make sure I'd just pm him and ask or he'll see this and post as well.

Yeah I looked on the page and having owned a set of V3(and loving them) on my 350z I can say those are not the V3 because they don't have the external reservoir thing on the rears.

ALSO as soon as the V3 come out someone let me know so I can buy them.

but this isn't a 350Z, and the dampers are different

The G37 and 370Z ones interchange

Yeah but even on other vehicle the 3's have the external reservoir(on the ones i've seen) Aren't KW coilovers shock dyno'd for each vehicle application ? So if I buy them for the g37 they wouldn't be the same for the 370z would it since they have difference body styles and such ?

370Z's and G37's are nearly identical cars - same platform, same suspension

Some V3's have resevoirs, some don't, it's application specific

The G37 and 370Z do not have external resevoirs

Anyway, I just got the email about the v3 for the 370Z. Height range is the same as the G37, I'd imagine the rates are the same too, but being the holiday, I have no way to find out.
