It seems like a bit of work to put the 31 struts in but, i have a mate who can machine up the "sheer spacers" so all should be good.

still in progress, monday can finish the work.
now i have bought 14", that can clear S13 caliper.
the thing i worry is tie ends, it may be too long or too short, or cannot be tightened on S13 knuckle. but since i have got 3 friends doing the same conversion, i think it is not a big problems.

today i mod it into my B310, not success, because the original lower arm are too short, thus generate positive camber, and the ball joint is too small. it will be tighten too much, then pressing ball joint, causing the steering very heavy to turn.

solution is change to S13 or R32 lower arm, have to calculate the length of each to determine which one is the best.

What do you gain? The best B310 parts have already have 245 mm rotors.

my 14"challengers wont clear the brakes.
Your best bet may be the 1979-1982 Datsun 280ZX brakes. They are a little larger than the B310 good parts, but they have a bigger caliper for faster stopping, and *are vented* so they don't fade as fast in repeated braking scenarios like racing. And it is much easier swap than R31 swap.

hmm the 280zx turbo disks are 9.5" or 10.5" something like that, never felt them fade at all yet. I need to try harder.
