    searching now, seems very similar but still need a minor mod to fit on z32?

    what about the fronts? can we modify the fronts to fit on z32?

    yes, just a minor mod to the front pillowball mounts. rears fit without any modification.

    Basically the issue is that gtr coilovers tend to have larger circular shaped pillowball mounts whereas the zed needs more of an oval shape so as not to foul on the inside of the guard.

    Mine took about half hour a side to modify with a hack saw, easy fix.

    if you want to mod them use a bench grinder.

    hacksaw just takes too long.

    why you going GTR coilover rather then z32? (sorry for noob question)
    would it be because their cheaper? or because their better? or because their more common?

    commonality. THere's just more 2nd hand coilovers out there for the GTR, plus HKS still make their hypermax system for the GTR.

    yes, just easier to source Gtr coilover, and cheaper
