Sorry to dig up a fairly old post but I would be interested in knowing how things went? I am looking at coilover set ups at the moment.

How do I know if i'm an early or late 260z? Looks like the OD on them are different, 240 and 280 are different.

I was looking at the trying to go with following set up but where can I locate this stuff in the uk?
Front and rear weld in camber plates
T3 front and rear LCA
T3 roll center adjusters
T3/ Ground Control full weld on coilovers ( potentially a1racing.com)
Eibach Springs: F – 350lbs / R – 300lbs
Tension control rods
Tokico HTS AE86 (HTS112F) cartridge short stroke shocks
Polyurethane bushings
Front + rear sway bar

Ok so no sure way of knowing without taking off and measuring. Wasn't sure if there was a way of telling by looking at chassis numbers etc. Thank you.

Now to decide whether to go with McKinney conversion or Threaded sleeve set up.:eek:

if you order at mckinney you can just tell them you have a late one or tell them the diamater of your stock shocks and the match the set for that, its just a larger diameter set.

just take your wheel off and measure the strut tube on your car
