What rotors are you running? (As in what from, and what diameter?) Also what thickness is your caliper adapter plate? (Both where it has and hasn't been milled)

Have you measured the ones on those struts I gave you. I'm pretty sure I've measured them at 250

yeah they are 250mm with a vernier, 100% posativ they are 280zx aswell because I pulled them of the car myself.

Thanks guys. I haven't measured the ones I got off you yet Nick, but Chris told me that 280ZX rotors were 265mm. I'll measure the 280zx discs I got off Clay, and see what they are.

R OConner, are you worried about weakening the caliper by milling so much material out of it?

Should be right he's running them on smaller discs so won't be as much force on them. Smaller leverage and all that. Its quite a nice setup. I'm impressed.

R OConner, Have you tried wheels on over them. I run starsharks and the problem i had with 4 pots (wilwood 4 pots) was the outer pistons stuck out past the hub face and because the starsharks have a real flat back space they fouled, would probably be alright with something like a superlight with its curved spoke?.
I gave up on 4 pots and went with a single pot on 1200 struts in the end. I can always revisit the brakes at a later date I suppose.

Weakening; Yes I was a little woried at first, but as nick says they are on a smaller disk. aswell as a much lighter car.

But to be safe they actualy slot into the steel bracket, and used big radiie.

Wheel; Yeah gona hafto run a spacer to get normalish wheels on do blan on geting some wat's or mini/superlights. will still be tight.

Hey mate, I got my konis years ago... I bought 2 pairs, R30 inserts and 280zx jobbies. One pair from autosport and the others mail order from the US.

If I pull them out I'll grab a part number for you.



As for wheels, all mine fit in front of the brakes so clearance really isn't an issue. Just whack flares on it and get some -40 14x7s.
