Ben, what would the warranty be on these and how come the same length damper is used compared to say a ground control coilover with sectioned struts where the shocks are different length front and rear?

12-month warranty on the dampers.
We don't need to have different length dampers because there is enough height adjustment in the base bracket that we weld on. I haven't seen the ones you mention but I expect they use only the spring seat to adjust height.

Here are some 260Z struts we just converted for jasonb.
As the 260Z shafts are thicker we used some S13 rear bases, machined out to slide over the 260Z tubes.
The 260Z struts have proper bearings at the front rather than a grease-packed hemisphere, but one drawback is an extra skirt that extends down from the upper spring seat (see pic2). This reduces the potential bump travel by a centimetre or so. It could be ground off, but we didn't want to mess up jason's top mounts. Alternatively you could just change to 240Z top mounts.
hey mate i see u do them for 260z aswell. at what price for a full set and what would yu need from me to do them. would it be better if i sent new top mounts or 240 as u stated?
