abakja1,
Sorry to hear about what you are going through... both KW and the distributor should have been in better communication to you about all this.

NewYorkJon34,
Not only should the springs be different between the G37 and the 370Z coilover kit, the shock bodies should be different too (longer). The G37 is a bigger car and its suspension mounting points are a bit higher off the ground thus it will require a longer shock body than the 370Z to be right.
At least that is how most quality coilovers do it. I am sure that the G37 coilovers will physically bolt on the the 370Z, but it might sit higher and be out of the height adjustment range it was designed for.

Good luck to you both
