Two, the distance between the strut tube and the spindle face is greater, thus allows more room between the strut tube and the back of the tire.
So I would guess from your description that the VG struts don't suffer from the track width loss issue that the 280ZX struts do?

Yes, the S12 strut is the best fit in the US for the Datsport kit. Because the Datsport kit uses te Aussie 200B Front crossmember and LCA's it widens the track width quite a bit, you need to use the 200sx VG strut to be able to run a more positive offset wheel, thus narrowing your track width....search and ye shall find much info on these struts.....

That was quick, on shipping all the way to Norway. Always worry about shipping over seas. Enjoy!

Thank you for the order,

It took 6 weeks for Richard to get my fiberglass parts, I guess the bump steer spacers fit in with the regular mail! :roll:

Shipped Cutler's spacers in the small flat rate priority box, not cheap compared to shipping inside the states, but seemed to arrive pretty quick, I think considering the distance.

I know about not being cheap.

It was $170 to ship a pair of bolt on flares! The shipping was worth more than the product.

Richard is an enthusiast, no one else would pay like that.

Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson
