Odd, with my stock weight B110, stock brakes (only change is later year champ calipers) and hot A15 ive never seen the need to upgrade the brakes, even in a 90min enduro she ran flat out with never even a hint of brake fade...

yes right bluebird takes it 10-15mm back inwards towards the disc closer to 20mm witch should/would put the wheel inside the guard,
wasnt talking bout the diameter of the hub it self..that can be machined down....tis kool no doubt he will work it out.....cheers goodluck

lol massive you say? id say adequate

id agree with dattoman_1000 thats they are some kinda disc with HZ calipers. thats if they are stanza struts

what size and offset are your wheels? 6 inch wide rims with around a +20 offset should sit nicely inside the guards on those struts. so the wheels you have must be around a 0 offset if sticking out that far

hotrocket, with bluebird hubs on those struts it will actually be 10mm wider, those hubs on bluebird struts brings it back in not the other way round
and you would have to redesign the brake setup anyway if changing hubs

do you have a pic of the other side,
you can change the front hub to fit 81-83 bluebird providing bolt holes line up, they are is shorter, that mite take the 20mm down for you

never have too bigger brakes mate...
they look like a good combo for the street.
my race 1200 with an A-series had massive rotors and 4 spot willwoood calipers.
This setup is a moderate sized brake combo not overkill at all.
The stanza brake setup is just adequate for modified street, this is a bit better.
I wouldnt run a booster though..you will get better feel without one.
They look like the "premium" brake package from the 195 VR HSV's.

Is that disc vented ?
Almost looks like a Magna disc with a HZ Holden girlock caliper

so do i cut 40mm of the top and use shorter inserts? and do i need to move the spring perch?? and do stanzas have 270mm rotors??

if they are long stanza are 40mm longer than 200b ones straght away and 200b needs the sring perches removed and stock ones welded on. sounds like stanza to me.

should have part mumbers on there somewhere cast intot the struts and the calipers.

datoboy1982 Posted on: 2009/12/17 12:11
the struts appear to be to long also. do these need to be cut shorter and have shorter inserts?? What inserts fit that are say an inch or 2 shorter than stock 1200 ones??
Sorry bout all the questions, but tryin to work out which path to go down. Want it to stop and handle, but fit tyres under the gaurds, not hangin out.
Thanks guys
