03' G35 - If You Replaced the OEM Suspension?

[shifty1]

What would you get? From what I do know, OEM sucks and is expensive. Insurance is paying for a late night curb encounter while getting on the highway, cracked rims and tires have been replaced but there is ALOT of suspension damage and it's been killing me having to drive it like this..

All the way around new struts, shocks, bushings, at least 1 lower control arm, pretty much a whole new set-up.

I'd like to know what some of you like, don't like cause I'm having trouble figuring out what is right for the car. Maybe I'll finally get rid of that dang creaking rocking boat noise from the suspension every time I go over a speed bump or dip!

OK, I'll look that up, thanks for the info(my car knowledge begins and ends with Gran Turismo 5). I'm taking it in to the shop tomorrow, I'll have a more detailed list of parts that are going to need replacing. With any luck I'll have a little something extra for some additional performance parts.

Just let me know what you need, you will get taken care of.

i was recently at a shop to ask how much labor would be to replace the OEM springs with eibach's pro-kit (because I would be buying them myself) and the guy said told me if I also NEEDED to replace the struts and everything else at the same time. I said not necessarily, because i've read on here that people use the OEM shocks, sturts, bushings, and ect.. and just replace the springs.

True or False- I can just switch out the springs and leave everything else and still be okay?

Stock would work, but would probably wear out faster on lowering springs. Usualy people do upgrade both at the same time.

I'll probably do it in stages. first probably get the springs and then shocks. just got a ticket for my tint so im kinda trying to get that taken care of first. a**hole cops, cant go after the guy whose tail lights dont work but sure come after the guy driving the infiniti

OK, Got the previous quote, and I'm taking the car in tomorrow for a second opinion, then make the claim. As it stands, these are the parts that need replacing with the part cost.
1-Front Lower Control Arm =
2-Rear Lower Control Arm = $276 in labor, they were afraid to quote me part prices for these 2..
3-Strut
4-Strut Mount? IDK what this is. It says strut, strut mount= 2?? price of this is $630.18 ($184 in labor)
5- Shock = @ $183.96 + $230 in labor

What would be good aftermarket replacements for these parts that would also get rid of that suspension creaking/rocking noise that so many people have complained about? I heard it should have been a recall because so many people had the same issue. I have it too

So the bushings come with the roll-bar, I didn't know that. What are the springs/coils for?

The BC coilover/shocks/springs (whatever it's caled) look SWEET! Definitely getting this if I'm allowed..

So the this would work together with the sway bar I guess..

[RED_DET]

The coilovers replace the shock/spring suspension currently on the car. They allow for height and dampening adjustment. Yes the hotchkis bars come with new bushings. Yes those endlinks work with the sways.

If you need anything, let me know I provide discounts to nico members.
