Which struts?

[rcb280z]

I'm running eibach progressive rate springs on my 77 280. Need to replace the struts. Will the KYB GR-2's work with the lower springs? What would you recommend?

KYB does not recommend you use GR-2's on a lowered car. (In fact, if you read the warranty fine print, doing so voids said warranty. Don't know how they would know if you don't tell them, though.) I did have problems on a non-Datsun with that a couple of decades ago.

That said, I know that there are people here who have that very setup, and say it's fine.

I am going over these very same desitions over on my thread. Glad I lurked more. Now I just have more questions.

Yeah, I see your thread too. I'm looking at the GR-2 / Excel-G ones. But I thought I heard somewhere that you have to use specific struts for lowered cars. I use the Eibach progressive springs and it lowered my Z 1". But I can't find any info to confirm this. I'll post if I find any info grantf. I know when I installed these springs (1997) that I used kYB's. But don't remember which ones.
