hey mate
in regards to ur question i am not a racer but am going through the same thing.
if u get the early model hilux diff, they r short as and dont need to be cut out at all. the drum brakes on the hilux are usually awesome. of corse they r still drum brakes but im not changing mine. the way i think is that hilux's are used for towing n sh-it.. so they can pull up a lil dato. as for the fronts. well atm i am using a standard stanza strut with stanze brakes.. they will stop but a definate upgrade is on the cards.. another drama u may come across is that they r two different stud patterns (5 on the rear and 4's on the front). i am getting the fronts changed to a five stud ford stud pattern (pretty sure its the same as a hilux). then will get an upgrade kit from hopper stoppers... they are awesome.
so keep me updated dude... im sure we will go through the same sh-it everywhere...

hey guys
i have put a ca18det into my 1200 ute... with the setup i am currently running the ute should make no less than 350 at the wheels (any less and i will be pissed).
im all confused on what computer i should run and whats best value for the dollar... any suggestions, tips or help would be greatly appreciated.... thanks

yeh will do mate
thanksfor ya time.
god dam projects... might aswell burn the cash as i earn it lol.....gotta love it htough

yeah pretty much.
its running a spacer at the moment and without it, it already hits the strut (with 13"rims). giving me the ####s really. and yes i wanna change it to same stud pattern as the rears and upgrade the brakes at the same time if u catch my drift. im pretty sure my hilux diff is a ford stud pattern.... not 100% though... what do u reckon. hoppers stoppers?

hey guys
wanting to do a brake upgrade on my ute. Currently have stanza struts, discs and rotors. I have a hilux diff which are a five stud pattern. The problem i face is that my fronts are four stud, and i can not put any bigger than a 13" wheel on it for the fact of hitting the fricken strut. So fustrating, so if anyone has any advise for me it sould be much appreciated.
