in the end, it's your car and your call. if you wanna save a couple of bucks... by all means.
I don't know if you've actually done any rear end work on either platform, but the camber arm and toe bolt assembly are virtually identical between the two.

I'm not advocating substituting incompatible parts to save a few bucks. However, when you search on ebay and see "350z" arms for 65 bucks, then "370z" arms for 110 and THEY'RE THE SAME EXACT PART, you'd be retarded to just throw down the extra cash to make yourself feel better.

As far as the different part numbers, like I mentioned in my other reply- some vendors will make small changes to the unit to differentiate it from another functionally identical item, especially when one generation is phased out and an updated chassis is released to replace it.

It's the same thing Audi does with Bentley parts in some cases. Guess which one has the higher markup, yet come out of the same parts bin.

SPC, like any other company, is in business to make money. "Updating" a functionally identical part to keep it relevant during evolving product cycles is a great strategy and I hope it pays off for them. Apparently, they have some people that definitely buy into that kinda thing.
