Hello,

I need some help.

I have a 2008 G35x Sedan. I lowered it recently on Eibach springs (Prokit) and not even a couple days and both front struts blew and leaking oil now. The ride quality is very bad now. I have been researching and calling around to find out what aftermarket strut would work as a replacement on a spring that is lowered 1.4" than the normal height.

Being AWD is limiting my search and doesn't seem like there is much out there. Even looking at the coilover route is extremely hard finding something for AWD and decently priced.

Can someone provide me with some options what to do?

BC Coilovers would have been the route to go in my opinion. Lowering springs get the job done, but in the end, you will pay the same price as you could have just paid for the coilovers, especially after you try and source $400+ worth of shocks.

I am actually looking at HSD Coilovers, and thinking of ordering them. What do you think? Do you a have a supplier or somewhere I can look for the BC ones? and how much?

Never heard of HSD, I carry the BC coilovers. What is your email address?

I hear that BC coilovers and Megan Racing coilovers are manufactured in the same place by the same company.

What are your thoughts on Mega Coilovers (MR-CDK-IG03AW)

They are not manufactured in the same plant and with that said, I wouldn't waste your time on them.
