G50 Q45 coilover options

Ok, Kinda new to these boat rides but I love a good handling car. I just got a '94 Q45 and it came with some eibach/tokiko blue combo and the car is gonna have to go lower. I considered getting some JIC's but after looking at the car a bit. It seems the same as R32 and Z32 suspension as far as mounting locations and design. Can I just bolt on skyline coilovers?? Are there any length differences? I've heard of people using them, but no details. Also, I noted the rear camber arm is some cast iron funkyness. Are 240sx toe arms/camber arms similar enough to use. I'm gonna need some more neg camber to fit the wheels I have. Just curious
. Thanks again

Thanks. I saw a setup on the rears being used with a simple adapter plate. Not sure where I saw it. Just trying to make a decision soon.

rears bolt up fine, use th estock oem upper mount.

fronts require bottom mount on coilover to be drilled and the strut tower holes to be widened.

Not you max your height and still deal with the car being pretty low. I am running meagans and they are max heigh tin the front car is still relly low.

only thing i would add is you need to make sure the coilovers (whichever you choose) are valved to take the weight of the full size luxury sedan. I'm not sure of the weight differential on the r32 or z32 vs. the g50 but it would seem to me that even though they bolt in you may eventually have some problems with the valving that could lead to blowing your shocks prematurely. Just my .02.
