Aftermarket Front Struts/Shocks for G37x Coupe

So less than 10K miles after lowering my G37x Coupe using Eibach lowering springs, my front right oem struts/shocks is now leaking/busted.

I've been researching for 2 hours now but I can't find a replacement front struts/shocks for the G37x Coupe. KYB has the rear struts for the G37x coupe but their front struts is only for the G37x sedan.

Can anyone point me to the right direction? lol

Thanks in advance.

I think Tokico makes the OEM sets, (that's what came on my 09 RWD), might contact them, but AWD aftermarket struts seem to be slim to none

Thanks for the reply blnewt!

I've been looking for Tokico AWD struts too but I can't find any. I'm not sure if the front KYB sedan AWD struts will fit the coupe AWD, though.

I didn't realize that this will be hard, I might end up getting OEM or use this to justify coilovers? lol

Try Koni Yellows, they last super long time with lowered springs. I had almost 80k on my last car and no issues.

Do they have one for the X? I think my only choice for the front struts is OEM.

Not sure specifics for the X but I would think its the same shock, but haven't seen any schematics to verify. I'm sure the rears will work with no issues. Do the front shocks mount different location on the a-arm versus no awd?

Yeah, the front AWD struts have a different lower mount and I think the springs are a different length.

Any luck on getting front struts? I'll be in the market for front struts pretty soon. As of now, my plan was to get coilovers when my struts fail :/

No aftermarket front struts for g37x coupe man.
Our only options are OEM struts or coilovers.

I recently purchased KYB shocks and am really disappointed, not only did two shocks leak they are too soft. Wish I had stepped up to koni yellows.
