Following on from a previous thread about the fitment of a Stillen rear strut brace I thought I'd put up a separate thread to explain the actual fitting issue.
Stillen advertises their rear strut brace as being able to fit to cars fitted with aftermarket suspension only. This is due to the fact that all US cars (and I believe most UK cars as well) have adjustable rear suspension with an actuator fitted to the top of the strut. This is where the problem lies ... aparently (and I can't verify this myself) the rear strut brace fouls on the actuator.
As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) US, Euro and UK spec 300ZX's have adjustable suspension - JDM's do not.
I will look into this fitting issue more closely when I get a new Stillen rear strut brace in. Perhaps it is just a matter of redesigning the support tower.

Hope this has cleared up some questions.
