tell us about them dude.

EDIT:
Do 510's have the same internal dia as 1200 struts (45mm) or are they 50mm? Rekon they'd be 50mm. Is that a ground control oilover sleeve and base? are they in the car yet or you just get them home now ?

These are my custom front struts. They are 1200 spindles, welded to a 510 tube with a Koni race insert and Eibach 250 lb. spring. The inside Dia. of the 510 tube is exactly the same as the outside Dia. as the 1200 tube, so it's a slip fit. I used a Wilwood Dynapro single caliper which has the same piston size and mounting lugs as the original but is stiffer and weighs less than a pound! Hawk autocross pads and a Wilwood 10.25" two-piece disc, capped with Datsport's camber plates. I just finished em, so not yet in the car...

Wow!

They look awsome! Great looking and very professional!

They definitely look the part but just how much stopping power will single piston calipers on a non ventilated disc make?

nicce...So are those disks and calipers bolt on parts?? do they fit 13"s ?? wat sort of dollar figure we looking at for those?? cheers

They're two piston, not single. All the guys I spoke to who race the Coupe tell me that the stock calipers with good pads have more than enough stopping power. With that in mind, I've got a much larger, thicker disc which has more lever action for the same size caliper because it's mounted further out in diameter. A car as light as the 1200 doesn't need vented rotors so that plus the ultra light caliper sheds a bunch of unsprung weight for much better response.

Unfortunately they're not straight 'bolt on'. The caliper would, the mount lugs and disc dia. all line up. However, the 1200 two piston caliper locates both pistons inboard of the disc. This lets them mount it radially much closer to the hub 'cause there's no piston out there. That's why I had to go to the larger disc, so the outer piston clears the hub. The discs bolt right on, but the mounting 'ears' for the calipers needed to be cut off and new one s welded on. They barely fit under 13" Libras. (no 'stick on' wheel weights inside the rim) The disc could have been almost a half inch smaller in dia., but I didn't want to have to machine a custom sized disc every time a new one was needed, this one's off the Wilwood shelf. All in, about $1500 U.S.. Those Koni's are around $220 apiece! The calipers are only $90 each, springs about $180, threaded collars $160, Discs about $100 each, pads $80, camber plates $350
