Meph Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Long story short, one of the popular 240z strut sectioning guides online has a typo, saying you need MR2 AW11 front struts (87-89) for the front of the 240z. After buying a pair I determined that its actually REAR aw11 struts you need. The good news is I also own a aw11 with blown front struts, but the bad news is they dont work for the Z. All the good parts suppliers for Canada online (that I know of , autopartsway.ca ect) dont have any instock (rears) I was hoping to find an alternative set to buy, I know you can use Rabbit Struts (but I dont know what year/model) and Ive read that AE92 (corolla) have been used before too. Does anyone have any solid info on what else can be used besides the mr2 parts? Thanks, Adam Edited September 29, 2011 by Meph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meph Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 used sw20 front struts for the front of my Z, they are 13.125" and let you cut appx 2" out. You have to drill or grind a larger hole on the hat that mounts to the car (thign with 3 bolts and center hold where the strut is bolted down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I used bilstein struts from a mk1 rabbit, the part number is in the guide in the FAQ section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
