Daniel, Yes they both will bolt on. I dont have a set of 280ZX struts to measure the length, I think they are the same diameter. I can still do coil over kits. Cheers, Feral Errol <http://www.datrats.com.au/>

(I have both lying around). Just out of interest, would you know if my new koni's (length for a 200B strut) will fit or are they too long? Cheers Daniel Kroehn P.S Probably be chasing a coil over kit soon, do you still sell them? ----- Original Message ----- From: "E Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 8:44 PM Subject: RE: Strut Details > They have 3.5" bolt spacing with 62mm single piston caliper. > They work very well. > > Cheers, > Feral Errol > <http://www.datrats.com.au/> > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Terry Rudd > Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 7:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Strut Details > > > Daniel, > > Not sure on exact specs of the 280ZX struts but today I was told that the > 280ZX Aus models had different brakes from 79-81, than from 82-83 but I > can't see any difference in the DBA catalogue.
