Why are the options for aftermarket springs and coil overs so limited for an x sedan?

 

Asked and answered several times over the years. To wit, Infiniti believes AWD buyers are after safety, not road racing pretension. Demand isn't all that high as evidenced by the few vendors of AWD suspension upgrade parts.

 

I guess what I meant was, is the suspension component placement that much different than a non awd so that springs and coil overs and shocks/struts can't be shared?

 

Yes, hence the limited selection...

 

The springs can be shared, the Tanabe spring has only 1 part # for every G application except for convertibles. But those springs have different drops and feel for each model, not the optimal way to sell springs. The coilovers require a different lower mount on the front shock lower mount but the rears are the same setup. At least there are more choices now then there were a couple years ago

 

Check out this the gap Brad, will Swifts make that much of a difference? Kinda wish I would have bought a non awd,but I got such a great deal on this one and pretty owned Infiniti selection is really slim in Detroit, Cadillacs all day. ( big 3) had to buy this car in Milwaukee. Thanks once again for the knowledge!

 

What about these for an awd Sedan? Any good?

 

I have Megan LP coilovers on my RWD, have had them for about 50k miles now, a bit of squeaking in back when they're cold for about the last 15k miles, but other than that they've been fine. Might look into KSports too.
