What brake upgrades do you guy's use in the bigger powered 1200's?...i know 200B strut assembly is a simple conversion...what works the best???....(If im goin fast i wanna stop)

I just finished putting landcruiser calipers and ks verarda rotors with a custom mounting bracket on my 1200. i copied a setup on a local rally car that used the same setup but with sigma struts so i had to make my own caliper bracket.
commodore would be another good option.

My mate showed me today he has bluebird struts with commodore calipers and it all bolts straight on...

I knew that some Commodore calipers bolt up to B310 Sunny struts, but i don't know about 910 Bluebird ones.

I was suprised aswell but he showed me....stops really well 2...

What are these struts fitted to? From memory, the 910 Bluebird ones don't go into 1200's without some serious work, which is why the earlier model struts are so widely prefered.

i used the 910 bluebird strut, and commodore discs fit straight on the hub when u remove the discs rubber bearing cover(using standard commodore wheel bearings.. Try to get a set of v8 discs as they are a bit bigger. i also used a vl strut insert and camber /caster adj tower mount(the standard holes need to be filed out to fit the larger diameter bolt.. a caliper spacer needs to be made up and then last but not least, the 910 strut will bolt on the standard 1200 LCA'S... the problem is the locating sleeve's diameter is larger on the base of the 910 strut so u have to make up a metal ring to fitt the 1200 steering arm..

Sounds like a pretty good combination,
what is the minimum size wheel you can run with those disks?
Any chance of posting some photos?
cheers

these sound like prrety complex set ups! iv got 120Y struts with 180sx SR20 calipers and rotors. Kev rowley in brsibane does the fitment. take the parts to him and he'll set it up and you can drive away. 120Y struts bolt up to the 1200 (ute) and you dont have to alter the spring seat for the springs - iv heard people have to do that with other set ups like the 200B struts.

ah your in melbourne that sucks, cause kev does a good job. the breaks stop real well - considering they pull up 180sx's pretty well then having half the weight.
