Also stanza struts allow the 270mm 240Z brake upgrade with sumitomo calipers.

Why is the 270mm upgrade only posible whit Stanza struts. Isn't it possible to do a brake upgrade using the OE B110 strut?
Wilwood have calipers for direct bolt on the strut, mount center as 3.50 just as the OE strut. They also have caliper mounting brackets for radial caliper allowing bigger rotors. Or why not make a bracket by its own that suits the OE strut mounting and give enough space for bigger discs?
Is there something wrong with the OE strut, is it to weak for this kind of mod?

the added advantage is the size of the tube that the shock goes into it's bigger on the other models and gives you a bigger range of shocks to choose from

belgian_roadster, thanks for bringing this up. Do you have more information on the Wilwood setup?

I just have the info I got from www.wilwood.com . You can browse their catalogue with a lot of info inside.
Radial calipers have to be mounted with brackets. Wilwood has standard brackets with 2 types of mounting holes, 3.50 for the Datsun struts. The non radial can be bolted directly to the Datsun strut. 2 things I haven't fixed yet:
1)Offset problem. You know, finding the right height of the disc so that it will be centered inside the caliper. Of course you can work with shims behind the caliper mounts, or work with discs that uses mounting hats, but there aren't so many hats that suits our bolt pattern and center bore.
2) Diameter of the disc with direct bolt on. Wilwood say, if you want 11.75 disc, the OE mounting holes have to be 3.49 away from the disc/wheel centerline. I suppose they mean the stud.

That's all I can say for now
