well if i could afford it i would go buy some wilwood calipers and discs stey have something that fits

What calipers match the verada discs, Is it Hilux or is it Commodore or both?? I think they're the same offset aren't they??

My old man does this mod. My car has these brakes.. They are fantastic, but don't expect to get out of it for less than $400.

Chris,

are you able to post some details of whats involved.

cheers

I have a set of 180b struts with new rally springs and shocks in my 1600 (that i dont use now i have a 1200 ute)
Commodore caliper's with verada rotors bolt onto these struts.
Can these be used in the ute?What would i need to do to make them useable??

The 180B struts will need new cups put on them.

Get some old stanza struts, and neatly hacksaw the cups off, just above the weld bead. Then use the 1200 springs and 1200 strut top. I recommend using Stanza struts, as cup doners, because the cups are the same spring diameter as 1200, and the strut tube diameter is the same as the 180B. So they swap easily, the 1200 struts is smaller diameter, and fitting these cups to the 180B strut is difficult without a jig (which I have). Using the 180B struts requires fitting the Stanza lower arms.

The Verada/Commodore disc brake conversion is well documented on a fella called Cameron's (CM510) site, so I've not bothered to re-invent the wheel. MY 1200, My Brother 1600, and my Dad's AE86 Sprinter all use the same setup as my verada/commodore front brakes.

ps. site is currently down search for CM510.

Thanks Chris,i think this would be a bit much for me to tackle.
Am i better off to swap in a pair of stanza struts complete,with lower control arms?
If so what M/C should i be looking for?
My ute came with a disc brake front end and boosted M/C but the brake pedal stops about half way down without full stopping power.....
Obviously i dont trust this system and wish to start again...
Any info greatly appreciated.
Tim..

Quote:Unlikely that disc brakes can cause this.

1. Adjust the rear brakes, with normal wear the pedal moves down. Adjusting rear brakes solves that.
2. If it still moves down, bleed the master cylinder (first), then bleed the rear brakes, then bleed the front brakes

Thanks ddgonzal,i'll try that...
Anyone have an answer to my other question??

the 1200 dual circuit master cyl is fine with the Stanza front brakes
