2006 M45 Sport package

[Dub_U_W]

I have a '06 M45 with the sport suspension with a aftermarket drop kit 1.5" front suspension drop and a 1.0" drop on the rear suspension and I've beed searching all over for aftermarket OEM replacement struts and shocks, but only to come to a dead end and the only place that has it is my local infiniti dealership that is quoting me for the front is $565.99 each side. and the rear is $467.73 each side. I feel like I'm trapped forking out $$$$ by buying it from them.
There's a whole lot available for the "base" model suspension, but nothing for the sport package. Has anyone have some luck in finding aftermarket OEM replacement Struts and shocks? I so please advise and recommend.

Thank you, WW

I don't even know if this will apply to your car , but it's little known info , that if your struts come apart (unscrew at top , w/pistons & oil filled) draining and refilling & using a slightly more viscous oil ( I used a "jack oil" ,which was rated for shock / motorcycle forks etc.) and found the brand that was "thicker" as compared after I dissassembled mine. It really made a difference ,and with a slight overfill (10-20cc's moer) = stiffer handling ,better damping , better than original "factory fill" performance .Cost 4 bottles @ $4 ea. !!!
Of course , labor huge factor , for I did this myself ,I take the chance you know. A regular mechanic may scoff at the success , for it is a kind of gamble with Labor$$$ , or not do it correct and "GETCHA TWICE" installing a 2nd time the several thousands you quoted on parts alone !! mac,2/17/2018

I didn’t realize there was any difference in struts between models. The Sport just has the rear steering difference, doesn’t it?

The struts are claimed to be sportier, the Steering rack in the same however like you mentioned, there is the Rear Active Steer

Try Monroe struts. I replaced my OEM struts and shocks with Monroe’s and they sell a version for the M45 Sport.
