Re: Strut conversion help and info needed

stanza and 200b are almost identical.
200b are shorter and the spring pearch is bigger(need to cut it off and weld on stock one)

if you lowered to where you want and no shock travel, sounds like stanza more than 200b.unless you are like me and lowered it way too much, then you will still bottom out (i raised mine but its easy with coil overs)

these the huge brakes? if so they would be stanza. commodore calipers only fit 180b struts, the ones in the huge setup were kingswood looking(earlier girlock) which have teh same bolt spacing as stanza and 200b

Kyb number indicates 120y, sunny or stanza.
The australia and nissan symbol reminds me of something from later 70s.
I believe the holden calipers fit the stanza and 180b struts.
So im putting my bet on stanza a10.

> at the moment it has kyb 364003 inserts. which wont allow much suspension travel

So you need shorter inserts. Which, may require you to shorten the strut.
But otherwise just simply fit shorter springs to lower the front.

Ok, so as half of you know, my 1200 has had a strut/brake coversion done.
The struts have some numbers on em and have been swapped side to side. I am tryin to work out what they are from.
They have:
ARMSTRONG
AUSTRALIA
AS1026LH at the threaded end of the housing, and
142-0(A NISSAN SYMBOL?) L
also, if these are stanza strut, do i need to shorten the housings so i can have it pretty low??
Now at the moment it has kyb 364003 inserts. which wont allow much suspension travel. Has anyone used heaps shorter ones??
Any help from someone whos done this would be super duper
