I'm going to be looking into a few setup like the 120y/s13 ca brake setup and also the vented 4spots setup, as I have 240z setup to so will sort the best setup, also thinking of maybe the r32 setup as I have them to so will keep posted in my build thread I think

The increased track is nothing negative, but reduces the fitting of wider wheels. The stock struts will let you fit slightly wider wheels and you can fit larger brakes to stock struts than the 250mm ca18/s13 brakes. The S13 struts have other advantages however. Yes, read up. Start with Brake Swaps and Strut Swaps.

Research the 250mm ca18/s13 brake upgrade. Has minimal 10mm increase in track each side and brakes are great! After Ange took me for run in his ute, better option than stanza etc. Tomos n14 vented and 4spot sumitomos are also good brakes. But that's on stanza/200b set up.

Lots of us have used successfully the stanza/200b brakes etc and the increase in track IMHO is nothing negative. Made my front end slower to turn with increased castor but more stable too

1. Disc brakes. Your choices are many starting with 1200 Coupe strut/brake assembly. That also will fit the largest brakes as the largest 280ZX rotors bolt on to it. For choices, see Brake Swaps.

2. Bigger wheels. The best strut is the 1200 struts. All the other choices push the wheels outboard.
