appreciate all the advice guys, cleared it up for me.
gonna tackle it next week!
r31 inserts are the better option?

hey guys,
i know this has been spoken about in the past but after reading up on it i still have a few questions.
plan on using (if their wrong please let me know):
180b struts
maddat adjustable LCA
maddat adjustable caster bars
maddat bump steer spaces
maddat sway bar
late 1200 ball joints
1200 tie rods
ebay camber tops
HSD sleeve kit
240z/260z inserts. (Brands?)
springs ( no idea ratings and length)

i get the whole process of removing the old spring seat and rewelding the threaded piece back on once you've shorterned the strut tube, what governs how much you take out of the original leght? (front end has to come down about 105mm) and do you take out the additional 25mm for the bump steer spacers?
aslo at what height on the tube do you install the sleeve?

got a few photo's of how the car sits now, if all goes to plan would this get the wheels into the guards?

hey shoota
