Im not sure about an '81. But my '79 and my '83 had completely different brakes in the back. It might still fit though. Im sure with minor modifacation you could make it fit.

I don't think they will. Those are the 82-83 style and the auction even says they only fit 82-83.

If you got some 82-83 rear struts they would fit!

I suppose it is possible that even though they were made for 82 & 83 that the mounting points are the same. I don't remember off hand if the rotors are the same diameter though. That would make a difference too.

79-85 Toyota 4x4 front calipers fit the 70-78 Z's. Not the 280zx
