Does anyone have any REAR OEM shocks lying around? Pease PM me with details such as what vehicle they came off of, history, etc. Ty!

 

2012 G37 sedan. Came off at 55k but I had to keep the top hats off the struts for my coilovers

 

Thx @skimbrell11 . I think I will keep looking but I"ll PM you.

 

What's the end goal? Replace the dampers all round and keep the car, or restore the suspension to OEM and sell? If you are replacing on a non RWD sport model, the KYB Excel-Gs are pretty cost effective.

For sport model RWD, sedan and coupe, the options are limited to Koni Yellow Sport, Tein Endura Pro Plus or coilovers (many options).

The RWD Sport Model Tokicos are just getting warmed up at 50K miles, but I have not found a supplier for replacement Tokicos.

 

Thx for asking @socketz67 ! Mine is a '08 Sport 6MT Coupe. My lower control arms are shot and getting replaced, but I have off identical car with 20K mi, upper arms, sway bar links brand new, springs all way around, sway bar bushings, so I'm thinking while tech is in there replace shocks too right? (I stupidly ran a bent FR wheel for maybe 20K and I think it shook things up). To my knowledge neither spring nor shock has ever been replaced and car has 240K. So they should be shot right? I think they are by how rough it rides. Car also sits lower in rear than it used to about 1 in.
I want to restore the car to original ride quality with quality parts. I'm keeping it.
Shocks I'm not educated. I think I need to not just buy the shocks but also the bushings/equipment that they attach to right? What do you suggest on that and shock brand (there is an assembly kit from INF or would new INF shock come with that stuff)? I have become partial to factory quality over the years. Maybe find factory online from ebay? They are costly online from dealer sites. Thx.

 

So you have 2 08 Sport 6MT Coupes? 240K miles on one and 20K miles on the other? The Sport Shocks/struts/mounts and seats on the 20K mile car are probably like new. Why not use those? How did you end up with a spare car with only 20K miles? Sounds utopian. Crashed? Rebuilt title? Finding aftermarket shocks/struts as good as the ones you are replacing (Tokicos) will be difficult since Infiniti only sells the Journey version as a replacement and they are valved wrong for the Sport springs (roughly 20% higher spring rate vs. journey). Tein EduraPro Plus is what I will likely use since the damping is adjustable. Koni Yellows are also great (also adjustable), but they are pretty pricey (2x the cost of the Teins)

 

No sorry bro I meant the parts I have came off an ident. car with 20K back in 2008. They've been in a storage shed or better ever since.
Well dang thats a bummer....the stock shocks should be worn out right?

 

Shocks/Struts normally start losing some of their damping capabilities around 80-90K miles, so at 240K miles, you could definitely use a new set.

 

@skimbrell11 I am going to msg you again.
