Has anyone ever seen these for a 280ZX

Cody, check out your lower control arm angle......if they're angled down towards your wheel or near horizontal with the ground then you're generally OK. If you're lowered enough that your control arms angle upwards as they reach your wheel/strut then you can use an adjustment in your control arm angle. You can either do it with those spacers or you can adjust your crossmember pickup point in both vertical and lateral location similar to the JTR reccomendation for Z's.

The spacers should help on a lowered zx and is an easier way to obtain bumpsteer modification or raise the roll center of the front suspension to improve handling without removing the front cross member and relocating the (2) control arm hole (s) up 3/4 of an inch. Rumor has it that the strut spacers do not stop wheel wobble (bumpsteer) when going over rough pavement as well as relocating the control arm holes.

These spacers do not change bump steer as they do not change the relationship between the control arms and steering arms, they only move it back in to a more agreeable range, so they can help. But the bigger benefit of them is that they shift the steering scrub axis a bit closer to the centre of the tyres contact patch, which is something all our earlier 240Z's can sure use. this helps stop that tracking over ruts and helps them to stop in a straighter line.
