I just use standard 1200 struts, longer lca's, s13 ca brakes, otomoto sleeve kit 4kg, chopped 3inch with mk1 golf inserts with 1 inch spacers, bump steers. Only strut needs to be threaded after being chopped and strut top nut re-threaded to suit inserts as the piston shaft is larger.
i used this setup because i thought it was the easiest, parts availability, sufficient to my needs and handles the weight of the sr20 well. otomoto 4Kg springs with helper springs, the front end is pretty stiff with plenty of camber, maddat sr20 swayer. handles so well like it has powersteering which makes it so fun to drive doing hill climbs.
im afraid using bigger struts and brakes may put off the offset too much and can't run 7.5 wheels.

I use 180B (large axle) strut, 260z (sports) rated inserts and 250 pound, 225mm freelength springs with helper springs (All springs from Kings)
200pds were bottoming out on most Sydney roads. Probably ok for track with the right shocks.

We're digressing a bit here but I'm trying to make VT Commodore (396mm rotors)brakes fit to Stanza struts. It's looking pretty tricky but I've cut down the back of the Commodore hub, machined the centre out of the hub out so it slides over the top of the Stanza hub which now needs to be machined back the same thickness as the hub plate of the Commodore so it's spaced in the right spot. I then need to drill holes and tap threads into the Commodore hub plate to bolt it to the Stanza hub where the disc formerly bolted on. God that sounds confusing! I'll be sure to post the results in my build page once I get stuck into it properly. Now back on topic!

I used vs commo caliper which bolt onto the 180b struts and I then bought a set of new magna verada rotors (296mm) ,which then jarrad (oldskool) machined the inside rotor hole out to slide over the back of the 180b hub .next the 4 holes were drilled in the rotor to suit the hub
Then I chopped and welded the strut 75mm to suit a nissan pulsar (n10) strut insert , so its now 3 inch shorter than factory and will allow for heaps of travel with nigels car dumped on its bum !

I'd have to check with Estyre cause he put it together, but I think shortened 200b struts and como brakes (not sure which model). Pretty sure its setup with info from pigdogs thread: http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/v ... ad&topic_id=42576&forum=1

What setup is that Levey? Looks sizeable! The calipers look like VL turbo or something like that.
