Getting new Struts/springs. does it matter if AWD or not?

Yes, the AWD G has a bracket that bolts to the strut, which then goes around the axle shaft. So, you cannot use RWD struts on the front of an AWD G. But, the springs are the same for RWD and AWD. Check out my pic of the strut bracket here -
As far as aftermarket struts, there are only KYB Excel G's available for the front of an AWD G. That's what I just put on my '06x.
Rear suspension is exactly the same as a RWD G35 or 350z.

It's KYB or OEM if you want to keep a stock-type strut assembly up front. There are aftermarket coil-overs available as well, but I have done no research on them since I wasn't planning to lower my car much at all. I only swapped in coupe front springs to even out the fender gap with the rears. I have no plans to go lower - need ground clearance for snow and bad weather.
