In every year of production, no trim level has anything different in the suspension, shocks, springs or sway's. The 2007 and 2008 Nismo version's of course have their own unique suspension setup.

Where shocks differ:
2003-2004, stiffer then later years, defined by high level's of compression dampnings, but lacking in rebound.

2004.5-2005, less compression dampning and greater rebound control (part of a host of changes to the oem suspension known as the "revised suspension).

2006-2008, we only know that part numbers changed, unlike the revision mentioned above where Nissan was very public about what was changed and why, nothing has ever been said about how 06-08 shocks may or may not be different.
