Overview
NOTE: For light alloy 4-pot calipers, see Brake_Swaps#4-piston_Calipers
Hilux calipers are 4-pot Sumitomo S12 calipers, though heavy they are inexpensive and readily available high performance brake calipers.
4-pot calipers advantage * allow for not very tall, but wide brake pads * allow for small diameter wheel * look cool
Disadvantages * heavy (unless made of alloy) * expensive to repair * not any better than sliding calipers
Calipers use same bolt spacing as B310.A14 and other Datsun struts.
Caliper Bolt Spacing (dimension 'B')
* 3.5 inch (88.9 mm)

Discussion: Rotor to suit Hilux caliper and stanza strut
Best rotor may be the 257mm number 40206-71E07 S13/S14/M11/C22/C33/C34/P10/WP11/R32/A31/U12/U13/U14 unit.
