The strut on the front driver side is broden and I was looking at options to fix it. I like the way the car handles but I think best performance and handling is the only way to go. I need it to keep me on the road. I am wondering if any one has any ideas since for the pair of front's it looks like i'll be pulling lint out of my pockets for a week after it's all said and done.

Go to zeroforum?id=172 and see who has something. If you buy the whole thing from a parts car it will go in with 3 bolts, it'll keep you on the road until you can fix it properly. How did it break ?

Hey thanks for the info but what I'm really wanting to know is what kind of replacement kits (shocks & struts/ coil over) are available and where to shop for them. I dont want to blow my wad but I am not oppossed to spending the money. The dealer quoted $856.00 for both and I have bugeted for that allready but would like other options if the result is higher performance handling. Oh yea almost forgot, it was broke when I bought the car. I guess a 348lb constant load on the driver side takes a toll on strut after some time.

http://www.everythinginfiniti.com will sell you the Tokico blues and the rubber which needs replacement at an incredible price with top notch service.

Look at Elwesso's suspension posts if you want to spend more, or
