the suspension parts will be the least of your worries. i would replace the front suspension crossmember as well since it is aluminum unless there are absolutely no signs of damage. all the front suspension in this car is cast aluminum, its very light weight and it is strong as far as typical stress and tension from normal use but its more brittle and can completely snap off like you have experienced.

just email the pic to Z1 or courtesy nissan and have them generate you the parts list you will need for the suspension.

inspect that aluminum crossmember for cracks!!
