Let the beating begin, ANOTHER coilover question

[str8pipez]

So I've been through lots and lots of posts on the topic of strut sectioning and I'm about to section mine (75 280Z, GC coilover kit from T3) but wanted to post a couple of pics and questions. Sorry if this has been covered 100X's, but it's as clear as mud.

 

1. I have Tokico 3099's for the front. The are 1.5" shorter than the 3012's. I assume I section the strut tube 1.5" as well?

 

2. I have the lower GC perch welded on 5" (8" on the back) from the casting per the GC instructions. Does it make any difference where the sectioning is provided I don't get into the threads for the gland nut?

 

3. For the rear I was going to use the 3013's that were installed by the PO and are fairly new. I was going to cut 1.5" off the spacer and 1.5" out of the tube.

 

Does any of this sound reasonable? I will also be adding the GC bolt in camber plate and the front insulators to the rear.

 

Also any thoughts on CO's without sectioning the tubes with a camber plate in front and the front insulators in the rear? I'm not going to auto x's, just street use with a more aggresive stance.

 

Thanks in advance and sorry to beat a dead horse, but better safe than sorry!
