G35 Coupe Suspension Replacement

Hello guys , in need of some help with suspension.

I have a g35 2007 coupe coming on 70k miles , and the suspension feels pretty rough when hitting little bumps or going over stuff now. Im assuming my struts are out.

Need help with which brands are best for daily driven, or all in ones shock and struts, or buy separately

Have been looking at these
http://www.autocityimports.com//0307...gs-p-9227.html

Also what other things should i replace since im going to be down there .
Bushings ? Arms ?

Thanks for your time

I wouldn't assume anything as you could be throwing away money for no reason. What do your tires look like and what kind of tires are they? Is there excessive inner wear? In my experience worn tires and make the ride a lot rougher. Odds are if your suspension is stock your struts are probably still good. If your tires check out fine I would jack it up check for play and examine all bushings for cracks, tears, and dry rot.

Front tires got a new set back in November , the inner on them seem to be just a little bit more worn on the inside , the bushings on the fronts have a little crack in them on both. back tires(were used) got a new set in march (got a nail in one that was not repairable , upgraded both)

Just went for a drive , its really bouncy now. When i first got the car , it was balanced and smooth ride. Its daily driven , and my commute is pretty rough. I expected it to give out eventually.

You need new shocks at all 4 corners. I think you already know this tho, but wanna find an excuse to not buy them. You must buy new shocks.

Replace the LCA bushings and comp rod bushings while you're at it. The parts will already be off, so just do it. Don't be dumb.

Nosam1, with that kinda mileage chances are very good you need new shocks! KYBs will give you a new car ride and last you as long as you own this coupe. I can recommend several quality shops in SoCal that will check out your suspension and only replace what is needed. Give me a PM

PMs can be found in the market place, buying one used is probably your best bet. Then give it to Gary
