#1 L series into a 120Y
dats-me Posted on: 2007/4/21 10:12
i have searched this but i haven't found the any answers. i just wanted to know when you put the 180b cross member in a 120y, can you use the 120y struts & LCA's or do i need 180b struts & LCA's? i know it would prob be better to use 180b struts because they have bigger brakes but i just want to know if they will bolt up & be ok.

as a quick guess you would use the 120y springs and control arms, from memory the 180 has a larger diametre springs and probably will not fit in the towers. Stanza will fit and you could use it's struts and controls armsQuote:

yeah u can run the struts and lower control arms and u will need the radius rods aswell
however when i did mine i moved the pins in on the crossmember in so the distance between the two was the same as standard 1200

I reckon you would be better going stanza , but having said that I can't see why you can't use 120y struts and lca if needed .However you will need to redrill the location points on the crossmember.
Also you will absolutely need stiffer springs as the L series and gearbox WILL drop the front end onto the bump stops. Even with stanza struts I had to go for stiffer springs. Mine is a L20b into 120y.
I wouldn't bother going any other way than stanza. Do it once and get it right.
