Infiniti G35 Coilovers

Every G35 build starts with one choice at the back: a separate style rear or true rear coilovers. Below are the Infiniti G35 coilovers we carry for the coupe and sedan, on both chassis codes, V35 and V36, with BC Racing first.

Not sure which rear style to pick? Call 1-800-460-9106 and we will talk it through with you.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Coupe or sedan, V35 or V36

First choice: separate style rear or true rear

The G35 rides on a four-wheel independent multi-link suspension. At the back, brands mount the spring in one of two ways.

Separate style rear

The rear spring keeps its own seat, apart from the damper, like the stock layout. Ride height is set at the spring seat, and the car keeps its factory feel at the back.

True rear coilovers

The spring sits on the damper body, as it does up front. Ride height and preload are both set on the damper, which gives you more to tune.

Which brands build each style

BC Racing and Fortune Auto build both styles for the coupe, the V35 sedan and the V36 sedan. Ksport builds true rear kits. BC's Extreme Low kit is a true rear design.

If you want to keep the factory feel at the rear, pick a separate style. If you want more adjustment, look at true rear kits. Either way, the front of the car gets a full coilover. Tell us how low you want the car and whether it will see a track, and we will help you pick.

BC Racing coilovers for the Infiniti G35

The BC Racing lineup for the G35

BC Racing makes four series for the G35: BR, DS, ER and ZX. Rear-drive coupes and sedans can have all four, in either rear style. The all-wheel drive kits come in BR and DS. Each BC card below shows the series sold for that exact car. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.

BR, DS, ER and ZX on a G35

Here is what each series does, and which kits it comes on.

BR: every G35 kit

BR is BC's street coilover, with a single-tube (monotube) shock and one 30-click knob that sets compression and rebound together. It is the one series BC offers on every G35 kit, Extreme Low included.

DS: every kit but Extreme Low

DS keeps the same 30-click knob and adds a digressive piston, firmer on small movements and softer over sharp bumps. BC lists it for the rear-drive and all-wheel drive kits alike.

ER: rear-drive cars

ER has an upright shock with an external oil reservoir, and 30 clicks each for compression and rebound, set separately. BC lists it for the rear-drive coupe and both sedans, in both rear styles.

ZX: rear-drive cars

BC calls ZX its "most track-tested" system. It comes on the same rear-drive G35 kits as ER.

Extreme Low

One BC Extreme Low kit fits the 2003 to 2006 sedan and the 2003 to 2007 coupe. It is a true rear design in BR, and the same kit is listed for the 350Z. For most owners, the standard kits are the place to start.

Swift Springs

To put Swift Springs on a BR, DS or ER kit, order through the Custom Build for BC Coilovers page. For the 2007 and newer sedan, Swift also sells Sport springs on their own.

The rest of the G35 lineup

Five more brands build for the G35, and Swift adds springs. Here is what each one makes for this car. For a second opinion, call 1-800-460-9106.

Fortune Auto hand-assembles its kits in Powhatan, Virginia. It builds a separate style rear and a true style rear kit for the coupe and both sedans.

TEIN makes G35 coilovers in three kit lines for each body style: Flex Z, Mono Sport and Street Basis Z. That covers the coupe, the V35 sedan and the V36 sedan.

KW lists a kit for the 2003 to 2007 rear-drive coupe.

Ksport builds true rear kits for the V35 coupe and sedan, the G35x sedan and the rear-drive V36 sedan.

Feal lists a 2003 to 2007 G35 kit and a separate kit for the 2005 to 2007 G35x.

Swift makes Sport springs for the 2007 to 2015 G35 and G37 sedan, which also fit the Q40.

Kits for highway, track and stance builds

Highway cruiser

Plenty of G35s still cover long highway miles. Keep the drop modest and the damping soft, and the car stays comfortable on long drives.

Kits to look at: BC Racing BR or DS, TEIN Street Basis Z, Ksport, Swift Sport springs (V36 sedan)
Back roads and track

With rear drive and a front mid-ship layout, this car does well with a firm, adjustable setup. Separate compression and rebound settings let you tune turn-in and corner exit on their own.

Kits to look at: BC Racing ER or ZX, Fortune Auto, KW, TEIN Mono Sport
G35 stance builds

A true rear kit gives you more adjustment at the back, which helps when the goal is to sit low. BC's Extreme Low kit is built for that look. If you are not sure, start with a standard-height kit.

Kits to look at: BC Racing Extreme Low, BC Racing true rear kits, Fortune Auto true style rear, Feal

Before you buy: what G35 owners run into

Here is what G35 owners report most often on forums and in recalls and service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.

Creaking front compression rod bushings
V35 sedan, 2003 to 2006 (V35 coupe, 2003 to 2007, not checked)

G35Driver and NICOclub owners widely report front creaks and pops over speed bumps and driveways from worn compression rod bushings. Owners cite Infiniti bulletin ITB08-013 for 2004 to 2006 sedans, and some say the noise returns after a bushing-only repair. Worn bushings keep creaking after the coilovers go in. One owner says stock rubber wears fast when lowered.

Before you install: Check the compression rod bushings with the car apart, and replace the rods or bushings during the install so you pay for one alignment.

Camber runs out of adjustment once lowered
V35 coupe, 2003 to 2007, and V35 sedan, 2003 to 2006

One G35Driver owner of a 2004 lowered on springs reports rear camber stuck at minus 2.0 degrees, with front at minus 1.5 and no factory front adjustment. Parts makers sell adjustable front upper arms and rear camber arms for lowered V35s. Too much negative camber wears the inner tire edges.

Before you install: Plan for adjustable rear camber arms, and front upper arms if you go low, and get an alignment right after the install.

Rear Active Steer cars need matching alignment parts
V35 with Rear Active Steer (RAS)

Owners of RAS-equipped G35s report some aftermarket rear toe arms are listed as not fitting RAS cars, and that enlarging toe bolt holes means cutting steel. Some caution that lowering changes how the RAS rear toe behaves. The coilovers may fit, but the rear alignment parts you add may not.

Before you install: Check whether your car has RAS before ordering alignment parts, and confirm each part is listed for RAS cars.

G35 history

A front mid-ship coupe, sold at 162 dealers

Infiniti built the G35 on its FM platform, short for front mid-ship. The engine sits behind the front axle line, and the suspension is fully independent, with multi-link designs front and rear.

Here is what happened next.

  1. 2002
    The coupe goes on saleThe G35 Coupe reached 162 Infiniti retailers in November 2002, on the same FM platform as the G35 Sport Sedan.
  2. 2004
    All-wheel drive joinsBC Racing's G35 AWD kit starts with the 2004 model year. All-wheel drive sedans take their own kits from here on.
  3. 2007
    A new sedanThe sedan moved to the V36 chassis, and kits changed with it. The coupe stayed V35 through 2007.
  4. 2008
    Handing over to the G37The G37 took over the coupe, then the sedan. Its kits are on their own page.

Choose the rear style and the body style, and only a few sets of coilovers for the G35 are left to pick from.

G35 questions we hear

Separate style rear or true rear coilovers: which should I get?

Both fit. A separate style rear keeps the spring and damper apart, like the stock layout. A true rear coilover puts the spring on the damper. Tell us how you drive and how low you want to sit, and we will help you choose.

Do G35 coupe kits fit the G35 sedan?

Often not. BC Racing, Fortune Auto and TEIN make separate kits for the coupe and the sedan, and the 2007 to 2008 V36 sedan has its own kits. Ksport lists one kit for the 2003 to 2007 coupe and 2003 to 2006 sedan. Feal lists a single 2003 to 2007 G35 kit.

I have a G35x. Which Infiniti G35 coilovers fit?

For the V35 sedan, BC Racing lists a G35 AWD kit (BR and DS), with G35x kits from Ksport and Feal. For the V36, BC lists a G35x sedan kit (BR and DS).

Which BC Racing series fit my G35?

Rear-drive coupes and sedans get BR, DS, ER and ZX, in both rear styles. The all-wheel drive kits are BR and DS. The shared Extreme Low kit is BR.

Will a 350Z kit fit my G35?

Only where the kit name says so. BC Racing sells one Extreme Low kit listed for the G35 sedan, the G35 coupe and the 350Z. Other 350Z kits are listed for the Z only.

Do you have springs only?

Yes, G35 lowering springs for the 2007 and newer sedan. Swift Springs lists Sport springs for the 2007 to 2015 G35 and G37 sedan, which also fit the Q40.

What does the BC warranty cover on a G35 kit?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. Each of the other brands sets its own warranty terms.
