not too sure whats in the 1000 conversion kit, or if it'll bolt up to 1200 drum struts but in a 1000 you can go 1600 or similar calipers and mitsubishi scorpian rear discs, all thats needed is to make up a bracket to hold the caliper.

you're in luck today just finished doing it tonight the list goes :
1200 strut tops
2" lowered stanza springs (or the orig 1200 springs to keep similar height)
stanza strut bodies, girlok calipers preferably
stanza brake hoses
stanza steering arms
stanza ball joints
stanza lower control arms and pivot bolts
stanza outer tie rod ends (to go into steering arms)
120y radius/castor rods.

the only bit i needed to modify was the radius rod, lined up and bolted the threaded hole, then had to redrill the other hole to line up with the hole in the controlarm/balljoint.
took about a day to clean up enough room in the garage, get the car in pull out all the existing bits and put in the new bits.
took my slack a$$ about 3 weeks and then some to reco, clean and paint all the bits
hope this helps ........ and everyone else that asks can find it with the seach bar

so, with the pending ocean road dilemas..... has a route or direction been choosen for the 30th ????
i'm going to look at the bright side if the ocean rd is a no goer .... two full weeks with a long weekend to get the sedan 110% for the 30th

might even be able to give the lagwagon or the A15Ett a run for their money

not 100% on the pcd for the rims, but the 4 stud rear wheel drive toyota and mitsubishi wheels will generally fit.
as for brake upgrades ..... first place to start ..... what have you got alredy ??

could probably fit both in to get to the start .... then might have to ditch one of you .... 1240cc, 3 guys in the sedan, peformance might struggle
specially if the lagwagon and a15ett are there

i'm sure that could be arranged without too much hassle ange.
get to test out my stanza front end properly next weekend, then if all goes to plan should have new carbs and electronic dizzy in and dyno'd by the 30th fingers crossed
should make for an interesting cruise then
