fisch Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hey folks, I have a friend getting rid of some 240Z struts, that he ran on a 510 to fit some SCAA rule BITD. I am picking up the struts, if for nothing else, for the coil over set-up. I've heard 240 struts aren't a good option for a 510. If you look at the strut towers from his dime, I can see they were set back a bit. Is this because they were 240Z struts? Should I grab the camber plates? This stuff is really affordable, that is why I am thinking about it. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Those are stock 510 calipers, so I presume the struts are as well...? 240z has dual piston calipers. Those camber plates angle the strut back for some extra caster; good for straight line stability and let's you run less camber for cornering. I imagine 240z struts are the same as 280Z struts in that they have an extreme spindle angle, so running them on a 510 would give you a massive amount of positive camber that couldn't be corrected with just camber plates.

fisch Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 THanks shacks510. He swears they were from a Z car. But it was a looooong time ago, so who knows. It would be fantastic if they were 510 as I could run 13s with no sweat! Couple more pics Quote Link to comment
docbainey Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just measure the disk diameter, zcar 271mm 510 240mm or less, calipers are definitely early 510. I don't believe 510 hubs will fit z car spindles. Quote Link to comment
