Coil Overs and Strut Tube Sizes...

I have pulled together some spare struts for my future suspension upgrades and am tearing them down for a coilover rebuild when I can afford it. I was measuring my strut tubes to be sure of

the strut size that my 280Z has and from Mike's website I was expecting about 2.04

or 2.08 " diameter strut tubes.

Both my front and rear struts are dissassembled and my cheap caliper says they are a 2.20" (55mm) diameter? Is this a 3rd size now or what? Anyone else seen this?

i think 280 are 2.18 so my .08 might be a misprint.

 

anyway there are only 2 sizes

common and uncommon.

 

common is all 70-74 240 all datsun 510 and all 280ZX these are all the same....

 

the "other" is 75-78 280 and i think that 240sx may be the same as well? not sure but think theyre larger too....
