Hey all, first post.
I think I've gotten the Bilstein 34-050224 (3000GT) to work with 280z struts using using a cast aluminum gland nut from a Gabriel shock machined to fit the larger Bilsteins.
I had my friend do the machining. He also had the old Gabriel gland nuts sitting in some old struts. I'll have to order more when I do the fronts.
With Ground Control coilover kit and DP racing camber plates. If everything goes right the rears should be in tomorrow. It will be a few months before the fronts are in because I go to school in Washington (And that's where I'm doing the machining and sectioning and welding) but my Z stays home in California and I only had time to do the rears before I came home for break.
