I did search bot nothing came up.. I have replaced my rear hubs and fronts with z31 stuff ( on my s130) this gives me stock z31T brakes front and back and better rim choices
In the front i run the complete strut assembly, mainly because i could still get a good damper for it over here ( i run re valved koni yellow adjustable in it and koni yellows for the rear aswel.) , and it is thicker etc. to do this and clear any camber issues involved with that strut you need to extend the front control arm of the s130 by 25mm.. however a z31 is 5MM thicker in diameter over a s130 from what i measured quickly...
Are there coil overs made for a z31 front? as i don't get enough camber plate use to my likings with a stock spring.
Or do i need to go radical and just adapt a set? from what i have measured a z32 front it seems the same diameter. (don't know what year or if it is NA or turbo)
Ebay does have the el cheapo sets for z32 ( generic).. question would be if the spring rates are anything to my likings (To speak in US set ups i would be more of an east coast liker)
Anyhow from what i can tell now trying the ebay route would be the best way to test before sinking in serious cash for a custom set up (intrax) http://www.intraxracing.nl/

What do the z31/z32 guys here use? where do you find ' bump steer' spacers or better roll center adjusters. and am i right that z31 have the same diameter? Thanks in advance!
