Anyone out there done a big brake conversion on 1200 struts? I need something that will stop 500hp im not to keen on buying mad dat stuff id rather get it done here in nz. So any info on a common conversion or people that have done it cheers peeps

I think I saw some adapters on the tard for four pots.
But for that kind of horsepower, you'd probably want to adapt some willwood stuff. Probably best to start with another strut. R30, 280zx etc

If my memory is right going to ute steering arms gives you the later strut spacing and then r31/280zx struts will fit as they are a bigger stub axle then chuck some 910 hubs on them then you can mount whatever you want on the back, going to a misti gto 4 pot calipers an 315mm disc but you wont fit them inside anything les than a 17inch id say.

I have gtst calipers and disc on mine but they only squeeze inside certain 15 inch wheels.

There you go , someone that knows

the disk and calipers are r32 and the disks are slotted rda rotors. the coilovers are s13 struts remade to fit the 1200, springs are 225lbs king springs

200b/stanza/240k strut shortened to suit st150 corrona struts (lots of available downwards travel)
alloy coilover sleeves and nuts with 200mm unknown rate spring
home made top hat(lathes are fun)
JIC camber tops

and then there is the r33 disc r32 caliper that takes up most of the pic
