Wow the forum is really dead these days...there are very few 3rd Gen out there not much in the way of aftermarket support. I had the B/C Coilovers on my 2nd Gen and they are very well made

the only issue with them is that they are very stiff, I have heard you can try to order them from the factory with a little less stiffness...they are also rebuildable which was a nice feature but I only put 30k on mine and they were still very good. OEM try everythinginfiniti.com which is Scotsdale Infiniti, tell them NICO sent you and they will give you a much better price than you will get from the local Stealership

I haven't been able to find replacements for my 02, but I'm considering BC Racing Coilovers: $1,245 for all 4 corners.

I found rear shocks on rock auto. The front shocks I got from affordable infiniti parts. (Naples Florida infiniti). But they just went out of biz. Had the best prices. Got heater core $100 less and shocks for $200 less. I just wish they came with coils because, the ride is not Cadillac smooth, but I'm not being thrown around as much and less nose diving.

Infinitipartsdeal is my next favorite.

If you don't mind a stiffer ride the BC's will tranform the handling of the car to a Q45 "M". I was happy with them on my 97' but often the lady's I was driving thought they shoud wear a sports bra going over big expansion joints at speed.

HAHA, she will want it. You will be happy when you toss the car on a freeway onramp and have zero body roll and far more responsive steering.
