so when you upgrade to 180b struts, do the commodore caliper and verada disc conversion on them

why would you want to adapt s13 brakes to 180b struts?
go buy some VR commodore calipers, some verada discs get the disc modded to suit the datto hub then space the caliper out 1.5mm
and wow you have better brakes that will fit under 14s
i would have offered you my setup.....but its sold

I think the strut was shortened to match the 240SX strut insert that I'm running. Then there are RCA's on the bottom to make the geometry better.

Hi guys]
Just finished my Kev Rowley 180sx brake upgrade.
Brakes work great even without booster.
I can fit 13" hotwires over the brakes (just had to grind a bit off the top outside edge of the caliper.
And I can fit a 205/60/13 tyre without touching the strut.Tyre is pretty close to guard lip though but shouldn't be a problem
Cheer
Bob

B210sleeper, why did you shorten the 280zx strut? They are damn short as they are.

the more I read in this thread the more i know the 280zx conversion was the way to go, the only thing we had to modify was the length of the strut, everything else is off the shelf parts, that will make maintaining saner than having to source all sorts of random bits, if you use the car a lot, you'll appreciate the cost savings on the performance and race pads for the wilwood calipers.

yeah it cost a bit more upfront, but hasn't cost a penny in a year.
