You would be correct. Didn't hear of any changes done to the suspension.

I remember reading something about "euro-tuned shock absorbers" being newly added for the sport package equipped 2013 somewhere. I'm not sure if any suspension components have been redesigned or not. I would double check part numbers against a previous year for shocks/struts before making a purchase.

Here it is in an article: 2013 Nissan 370Z Gets Some Small Updates (The Torque Report)

I am considering them over aftermarket shocks currently available because the price of a set of Koni Yellows is at $750. Plus roughly $325 for Swifts totaling $1075, now it's almost at the price of a good set of coil overs.

OEM (2009) shocks run $500. Euro-Sport Tuned shocks, I am guessing will be somewhere between $600-700 tops. It will be interesting to see who will be the first to pull the trigger on this combo.

The struts, springs, and a few other damper related bits are different on the 2013 370Z, actually. The ride height is slightly higher as a result.

Fact: confirmed source thru dealership part comparison, part number to part number comparison from 2009 versus 2013.

The ONLY suspension component parts upgraded on the 2013 are the shocks (different part #) and known fact they are euro-tuned. The springs (different part #) That's it, all the rest of the parts including damper parts are the SAME, NO CHANGE.

The claimed ride height increase is from new springs, which is irrelevant as SWIFT springs will be used.....meaning the ride will be the same on the 2009 as is on the 2013.

If you like the performance of your Swifts with OEM shocks but do not want the rough DD ride of other shocks. May want to consider this setup. Performance + great ride + cost = swift/euro-tuned combo.
