all the later struts will give the same amount of extra track width

the r31 and such extra wheel clearance is only really handy when running bigger wheels(16s and 17s) as far as i know

if making your own bracket id go for the stanza, 200b 240k struts
but as white sedan said, brackets are available for some struts so might be better of pricing them up and seeing what struts they are available for

$600 for just the front brakes hey sean, i did the whole r32 setup front and rear and had change left over from $600

Yeah but for $600 you get two sets of race pads one hard/one soft, braided flex lines (got some already but every dato owner needs spares), dogbone brackets, pair of brand new 4spot superlites, new drilled rotors and billet rotor mount all bolts up to the 280zx strut leg.

This wont happen for at least a year or two, I got to get the car out and stretch its legs and wear out the brakes that are on there first.

hey white sedan, set a post up for the 280zx struts and brake conversion once u r done as i have a set of 280zx struts sitting in the garage. sounds like it will be a much better set up than the 120y disk brakes at the moment...

Its all in the Wiki mate.

Same conversion parts as sunny/stanza strut swap except remove the spring seat and run a standard sized spring seat or weld on coilover kit like I did.

Ends up looking like this;
