nah they are bluebird struts...would have thought it would take more than a 5mm spacer to clear

but if you stick with the bluebird struts you should get some r31 front brakes and put them on, disc/hub and caliper bolt straight on and they are vented discs

yer they do with a small 5mm spacer..... heres the story- i went to the local wreakers looking for a 120y or stanza but they didnt have any so the guy said wat about bluebird struts, they might fit, so i tryed on the mag and they did so, i ended up with they whole bluebird trx for $200.

they could be r31 stuts for all i know.

is there a measurement i can take to find out?

that offset fits on bluebird struts? sure someone hasnt swapped them for r31 struts at some point? basicly the same strut but with shorter inserts and different stub axle angle

coz if they fit on bluebird struts then they should fit on stanza, 200b, 180b etc struts

in short, without spacers they wont fit on any thing except for maybe r31 struts

will need decent sized spacers for 120y struts 20-30mm at a guess, and probably 15mm spacers to clear stanza struts

just going off the fact that r30 rims are 15x6 and about +20-25mm offset and dont clear stanza struts by a whole heap

cheers mate, im running small spacers on the rear to stop them hitting the leafs, but yer, if any1 knows if they will fit on a 120y front end that would help as im lookin for a quick change over. im only running a stock engine so they should be good enough to pull it up i think.
