Terry,
Springs are the same as R31 skyline, 148mm ID, Stanza Sunny springs 88mm
ID, 1600, 180 240K Bluebird 108mm ID.
The angle results from the stub inclination same as Z.
They give between 4-6 degrees neg when fitted to a vehicle that normally
uses 108mm ID spring application (except bluebird), Im told.
I have never seen anyone fit them so I cant say the amount of camber
produced..
Cheers
Feral Errol

Errol,
Is the problem with the R30 struts the angle of the axle in relation to the
strut much like a Z, also are the springs the same as the L4's.
