you can't use 200B struts in a 1200 - the spring is too big in diameter.

you need stanza or 180B brakes up front, lowered 50mm with a 1in lowering block out bac to get it level.

need to run min 13in rims with this though.


geez, wheres the fun in putting a non stock strut in a 1200 and keeping it the same as when it came out of the donor vehicle?
technically 180b struts wont fit either as the springs are the same size as 200b

ive had about 3 sets of 200b struts in my car....so you can use them. just gotta go to the small amount of effort to change the spring perches to 1200 sized ones

13 inch mags should clear 200b brakes pretty easy, boffs running 200b discs and 240k twin spot calipers on stanza/200b struts with 13 inch mags and has plenty of room
its only steel rims that the clearance will be tight
