Their web site doesn't show a fitting for the Z33 or the G35 yet.

Really interesting to note that these are twin tube design vs the FLTA2 being mono tube. Glad to see they maintain the adjustable height lower bracket so you can adjust the ride height (corner weight) and not effect the suspension travel.

Nevermind, just got off the phone with them. They have no plans of introducing these coilovers for the Z.

Well, they said it like these were built for lower dollar cars and they wouldn't be much of an upgrade for the Z. Of course, with spring rates and such, imo, they could be made to a happy medium with the FLTA2s on top of them, but apparently they disagree and will not be making them for the Z.

Some of the things Jic's R&D staff does, that the marketing stuff should refuse to go along with, just doesn't add up. G35 sedan flt-a2 coilovers with spring rates of 504lbs front and 392lbs rear, spend $1.7K for those specs,.........right, I WANT more understeer

yeah, that is bad for the sedan, lol. Of course, you could just get the Z stuff, like you already do, heh.
