Can anyone tell me,
when fitting stanza struts with twin spot sumitomo calipers to a 1200, do I need to fit any of the other steering components off the stanza to make them fit, or swap the struts left to right?

Thanks

Bruce

keep them the same side ( I think)

But I do know that you need the lower control arms off the stanza as well...

I think 1200RallyCar has more info on this somewhere?

yeah with the stanza install keep them the same way. you need the lower control arms you can use the standard 1200 castor rods but you'll need to put in washers up the font where they bolt up as your wheels will be right up the front. Or do what
I did and use 120y Castor rods they fit perectly

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what are the benfits of fitting 240k strut inserts??? I see some people use them, anyone here use them and recommend???

All I want to know is what disc rotors are you using...or going to use?????

240k struts have a stiffer rebound and compression ....especially if you use heavy duty springs it really stabilises the whole process and cures mid corner pothole bumps and the like....and speeds its endless.

using stanza struts and stanza standard brakes, but instead of stanza shockie inserts, use 240k inserts thats what alot of people use, is this a wise upgrade or stay wif stanza shockie inserts

actually it doesn't really matter as long as the shocks are good.....you should ask a specialist as to what shocks can be matched with what springs....use 240k shocks with heavy duty springs. if they are standard springs use heavy duty monroes or whatever make...then they are matched properly... so they work together properly actually.

240K struts are alot shorter than Stanza struts. So they are not a 'bolt-in' replacement.

heathbruce, are you using 240K twin spot calipers on the Stanza struts? Stanzas only came with single piston calipers, although there were 2 types of them.

some people use 240Z strut cartridges (not the whole strut, but the replacement cartridge) with 77-79 810 struts . The 240Z strut inserts are shorter.

I have just fitted stanza struts , lowered stanza springs,1200spring tops,stanza controll arms and raidus rods. it all bolted straight in except for the raidus rods, i machined the shoulder back 27mm it gave me more castor .the track has been increased. i run trx's they just touch my front apron. my struts have the girlock calipers i used the stanza brake hoses to. i machined the disks & fitted db1091 semi metal pads. i run stock rear drums ,standard 11/16 master,no booster. stops mad nowi did it all at work in a few hours very easy!!!!!!!!!!!
