I'm considering getting a set of these. I emailed them with a few questions and they are under the impression they won't fit an 08 Z because the steering rack is different.

Do they have this correct?

Uhhh they should fit, maybe they think you questioned their angle kit for the z that they are currently working on. I think that one will only work with the older racks. The coilovers should fit no problem

OP, yes they will fit an '08... I just bought mine a little less than a month ago and all I can say is that I LOVE them...

I have them on my '03 g35 sedan and they are super smooth... They are able to go super low and stay super comfy at the same time... I don't track/drift my car, I just wanted a really low and smooth daily ride...

They do cost a pretty penny, but I think it was well worth it...

No, was just getting to the point.

Remember, no one will ever install a suspension and tell you it's bad. It's always smoother, better and rides like its on rails. Only problem is, thats just not possible. Way to many owners make reviews on things they have no clue about.

I'm no suspension expert and will never claim to be, but I have been on 4 different setups with my G-sedan, and this IS the most comfy, smoothest setup YET and it is the lowest I've been...

Like I said, I don't track, drift, drag, etc... Just a low, smooth daily and it was exactly what I was looking for...

Trust me, if the ride felt like **** or it was a sh!tty quality product I would def let everyone know so they don't purchase it...

Have you ever driven on these coils yourself?

Good question ha,
And I like the angle kit that they are developing for the z, the 240 parts have been excelent so far
