What a shame

Quick question for the Infiniti family about 6 months ago I installed swift springs on my g37x Sedan first couple weeks all was good went back for an alignment and was okay first couple weeks I haven’t had the time to get it checked until today to come find out that the very a reputable shop that installed it did not have the spring sitting properly cause it to rattle and make all types of noises and also I have to replace front struts due to all this ....any thoughts on which struts I should get/ any advice

Pretty sure the KYB are the only aftermarket for the X. What did they actually do wrong in the install?

It’s only the front ones rear ones are fine and the way it’s sitting on the struts it’s to close to the bolts the springs can be readjusted but the replacement of the struts is my concern

A) Your car does not have struts. They are just dampers.
B) KYB is a slightly better option than just replacing with stock and a darned sight cheaper than coil-overs.

I'd replace all 4 if I were you, The rears will go out sooner or later from being lowered. Pretty sure you can pick up all 4 kyb for under $400 total. Or you could get a cheaper set of coilovers like Megan for couple hundred more after factoring in the cost/resell of the springs
