Re: 13B Rotary Swap

The Pinto front suspension swap is a very old swap. It is not the best, but it's tried and true

The "Pinto" brakes from Wilwood are a better idea:
* Light alloy hubs
* Extra light thin rotors
* alloy calipers

For drag racing, light is good

I have no idea if Pinto-spec hubs can be modified to fit a 1200.


Here's what a fellow club member has done:

Wilwood Dynapro single caliper and Wilwood 10.25" two-piece disc. Uses stock 1200 spindle and stock 1200 hubs
