So, I was Googling some parts (and updating my wishlist excel spreadsheet) and found this thread on a Q50 forum. According to the OP, who says he's an Infiniti tech the suspension between a Q50 and Y51 is identical.

Can anyone confirm?

Here is the thread with the OP: http://www.infinitiq50.org/forum/q50-pa ... overs.html

Here is the coilover kit: http://www.rs-r.com/product/infiniti-q5 ... vers-2014/

Double the price, but evidently double the quality. Up until now I've been looking at getting BC Racing coilovers when I'm ready.

RS*R definitly makes a coilover kit for Y51 chassis. See HERE. Not sure about the Q50 being the same suspension but I wouldn't be suprised.

Interesting...it's not listed on their website (at all). No mention of an M/Fuga anywhere on their site.

EDIT: Although, based on those images, it's only for the VQ25 (2.5L) and VQ37 (3.7L). Not the VK56 (5.6L). Most likely this isn't an option for guys with the V8... :crybaby

I'm gonna make a thread in the Q50 section and see what those guys have to say...we have a couple of good members in there as well.

They don't offer the Y51 with a 5.6 in Japan, only the 3.7 and Hybrid. The only thing that would need to change, maybe, would be the spring rate for the front. Otherwise it would bolt right up no issue.
