Recently purchased a 2003 Infiniti Q45 as a winter project. First thing on my list is the suspension but unable to find anything online. Any suggestion on where to start?

:welcome: to NICO!

The 02-05 Q had fairly low production numbers, so aftermarket support is kind of limited... but some other members may chime in here with suggestions soon.

if you have the electronic suspension you should just go ahead and buy the rebuild kit. The only other real option you have is to do a full coilover setup which will end up costing about the same. However, if you want it stiffer or lower the coilovers are you best option...if you rebuild your sentenced to Infiniti parts which you can get cheaper from everythinginfiniti.com who is really Scottsdale Infiniti.

Thanks for all your help. Found a coil over set up from a CIMA on Ebay but item is from Japan. I have plans to just wait and do more research in the near future before dropping that kind of cash.

The CIMA is not a 2003 Q45 I don't think, so I would pass. Wait, there are coilovers available in the US, search eBay, it took me awhile to find them for my 97' but eventually find BC Coilovers.
