Like the title. Where do I get them to run with my GC setup? Also, Evildky, what happened to your write up shocks preparation and installation? I searched your name under archeived and didn't see it.

thanks a lot. What years of the S30 using the same strut housing and hub as 280z? I plan to just get 2 extra sets and work on them. When I'm done just jack up the car and replace them instead of jacking up the car and wait and wait and wait.

I'm using 280 strut housings, they have a slightly larger internal diameter which makes the whole fitting of the strut easier, I've heard of people using 240 struts only to have to have the inside holed to fit the insert

the only other difference is the spring pearch height, if you intend to do coil overs that doesn't matter, the front bearings and brakes are interchangable,a nd the rear stub axles and bearings are interchangable, the 280z stub axle is suppose dot be stronger and is what I am running
