Coilovers for the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 (Z33/V35)

The Nissan 350Z (Z33, 2003-2009) and Infiniti G35 Coupe and Sedan (V35, 2003-2007) were built on Nissan's RWD FM platform, so the front struts and rear shock towers sit in the same place on all three body styles. That is why BC Racing, Megan Racing, and Godspeed sell one coilover kit with fitment notes for the 350Z and the G35 Coupe/Sedan together, rather than separate kits per body style.

This only applies to RWD trims. AWD G35 sedans route power to the front axle through a different front subframe and are excluded from these fitment charts - check the listing's drive-wheel note before buying.

Drop ranges vary by kit and by body style. The Tein Flex Z, which lists separate drop figures per chassis, runs about 0.8-2.5 in. front and 0.2-2.6 in. rear on the 350Z coupe, 0.2-3.1 in. front and 0.4-2.8 in. rear on the G35 coupe, and up to 0.7-4.1 in. front and 1.3-3.6 in. rear on the heavier G35 sedan. Godspeed's True Rear MAXX and Megan Racing's Track Series and EZ II cover the same three body styles with their own adjustment ranges - see the fitment table below for part numbers and sources.

Any height change on this chassis moves camber and toe out of spec, so budget for a four-wheel alignment after installing coilovers. Several kits in this class, including Megan Racing's, ship with adjustable front camber plates specifically to bring negative camber back into range once the car is lowered past an inch or two.

Past roughly 2-2.5 in. of drop, 350Z and G35 owners commonly report front fender or inner-liner rubbing on stock-width tires at full steering lock; wider wheels or spacers make that clearance tighter, not looser. Set initial ride height with that in mind, then fine-tune with the damping and height adjusters once the car is on the ground.

Within the 350Z line, the convertible uses a slightly different rear shock length than the coupe to clear the extra chassis bracing added for the drop-top - Tein's fitment data separates the two for that reason. The G35 sedan's longer wheelbase and extra weight over the rear axle is also why its Flex Z drop range differs from the coupe's, even on an otherwise identical kit.

If you are shopping for the newer chassis instead, see coilovers for the 370Z/G37, which use different mounts and are not interchangeable with these Z33/V35 kits.
