If it's as bad as you've described (in both of your threads ), are you sure your car isn't an "active" (Q45a)? If it is, it's not going to be as simple as replacing the springs ... you'll hvae to re-hab the active suspension (search active in the Inf Online Mech fourm)

BUT if your car isn't an active, search for a thread title with Springs in it, started by elwesso.

There are a lot of people swapping their stock springs for lowering springs. You might get them to ship you some for free. Do your strut towers look like this?

( it went through total abuse) so i decided to adopt it and now im in the middle of fixing it. i just baught a set of tokico blues. replaced the rears.....looks and feals sweat. but the fronts are sitting low and i dont want to drop the blues in until i replace the springs....(im affraid of blowing out the strut) ive done injectors, knock sensors and more( if anyone wants pictures of the job let me know ill gladdly post them) so now like i said my problem is i want to change the front springs. Problem:::::: cant find any website that sells them not to mention that i dont want the hole set ....i just want the fronts...i just ordered a set of 2006 infiniti m45 sport wheels and tires and im dying to put them on, but i'm not going to until the suspension is done...please if anyone has any answers for me....get back at a q owner...lol

Did you try sponsor http://www.everythinginfiniti.com ?

Did you post on the Infiniti Classifieds forum?

There should be some extra around here somewhere.

Congratulations for trying to save an abused G50. Hope your pockets have some depth.

He has/had a hookup for the Cal Customs

Also, check the thread in the M35/45 sub-forum, IIRC the 06 M45 wheels have the wrong offset .
