Although there isn't anything for the 1200 (strut/brake upgrades) on the datrats website, but they do have Stanza kits so maybe someone on here has them.

Are Datrats a good business, like, do they do good work?

Is $3110 a good price for shortened Sunny struts with adjustable platforms to suit coilovers, with Serious brake conversion and Noltec adjustable tops?

I will send them an Email but I thought I would just check with you guys first.

Cheers Mitchell

I have ordered over 2 grand worth of gear from them twice in a year and both times I have received top quality gear with great feedback from errol, I just keep his number in my mobile now and anytime I have a question about an item I can just sms him and he will have an answer shortly after. I can't recommend them enough and if he hasn't got a product he will try to get it for you.
Also if you don't want to spill out 3 grand for struts consider the street strip struts from datrats for only $1690 they have great qualities like Shortened strut legs to suit your vehicle, with special valve rate shock absorbers.
Adjustable height spring platforms, with race rated springs matched to the shock rates.
Each strut and insert is stamped with unique identification number
Strut is powder coated in your choice from a range of basic colours
then add some sumitomo brakes for $995.
$1785 for top quality struts and brakes is a great price! but you can do cheaper brakes and struts your self if you don't need top brakes and only need slightly firmer suspension than stock

Thanks for that, he sounds like a nice guy. And to ship it over to WA it must be worth it.
I was after the firmer ride and also the bigger brakes as I have an SR20DET going into the sunny, and stopping is just as good as going fast.
I guess if I told him what I want the car to do he would steer me in the right direction anyway.

Cheers Mitchell

thats the one and only feral is his login on here, if you're real keen have a search for some of his posts in threads.
besides me and blowfly there are quite a few who regularly look to him for advice on anything datto related .... brakes, suspension, ignition, turbo, webers, exhausts, diffs, gearboxes the list could just go on into specifics
