I think you mean they will give regular camber (good) than the 510 or S30 struts (positive camber). At least Feral said: "1200 sedan...240/260Z struts stub angles are wrong for this conversion. You will have heaps of positive camber...[you need the] stock 7 degree angle used by most Datto struts".

This may sound a bit dumb but, if i upgrade my 1000 to have coupe hubs, even though i cannot fit various different struts whats stopping me from just sliding disks over the coupe hubs? Is it interior diameter of the disk? Could i just go out and find any rotor over hub car of the same stud pattern and sling the rotors on coupe hubs? Cheers

technically yes you could just chuck a disc on the original hub...you would need to find a disc that will locate itself like the drum does. so that its not just relying on the studs to hold it in position

We are now manufacturing, coil-over kits for for 120y/1200 struts with a 45mm tube, they use 65mm ID springs.

just thought id throw this out there ... s13 disc and calipers can be made to fit onto 120y struts and hubs. i will be oing this conversion again soon and will take a few more pics but all that is needed is to take the 120y hub, machine approx 2mm off the outside (to be a snug fit inside the disc), replace the studs with ones out of a pintara (10mm longer) and make a bracket to hold the s13 caliper in place using the original caliper bolts.

estyre, what parts have you used to fit the 180b struts? and what width and offset are your wheels?
aidaniel, cheers for the S13 info...thought there was supposed to be an easy to find write up in the wiki but i couldnt find it

yea it got lost when the forums were updated ... i'll be doing a set for myself and someone else is coming weeks i think, if anyone else in adelaide wants a set done can you let me know i can do them for a small fee if you supply struts and s13 discs and calipers. i'll put a post up on the main forum

I am not sure if anybody else has found this but I have a set of 74 120y struts and and a set of 71 and 73 1200 coupe struts. The offset on the 120y struts is marginally different from the 1200 struts.
This was evident when I fitted some 15 inch rims which need spacers to fit on the 1200 struts but not on the 120y struts. So I'll be fitting the 120y struts to my coupe so I don't need to run the spacers which is a bonus. You can view topic.
