title of this thread indicates that these rear shocks are compatible with the z600 coupe, any idea if these will be compatible with a n600 sedan?

Gotcha, just ordered 2 pairs for both my coupes. Does anyone have any idea where to get front pads for the front disc brakes?
Thanks again!

They will fit either Sedan or Coupe rear shock application.  I currently have them on my Sedan.

Take your old pads to a local brake repair shop.  They normally have information on who will rebuild them for you.  But don't let them try and say another type of pad will fit.  They won't.  If you can't get them done, there is a shop here in San Diego (National Brake) that will do them.

Bill: Is this true for rear brake shoes, too, or just front disc brake pads? That is, that they can be rebuilt. Thanks. John

Hi John;
Yes, all brake linings can be rebuilt.   The problem early on was that there was no good mastic that would hold up so many linings were riveted on.  I ask the shop doing the work to attach the lining for both Pads and Shoes to use a brass rivet to hold them in place along with the glue.  The brass rivets will not harm the drum or caliper as the metal is softer than steel.

Thanks, Bill. Good to know in the future when our regular suppliers aren't available any longer.
