yeah they are bloody, but its only a c110 road car. I'm sure the extra 3kg unsprung weight isn't going to bother him. Plus nissan 4 pots although alloy, certainly aren't light! :D

correct, they are heavier, but in the scheme of things won't mean frig all.

Other struts will more than likely be just as heavy if not more, geometry will also change.

Hilux calipers have a 89mm bolt spacing to which fit all the other nissan struts (easy to find ones). Thats what i used on one of my brake upgrades for my car.
