Even bigger nissan struts (200B/Skyline) need serious work to fit - I've got skyline brakes waiting to go one when the motor is rebuilt and I've had to shave bits off to fit under 13" wheels, but the coil springs need to be swapped with smaller coils, and thus need to have major mods to fit. You can't just bolt the stub axles on cos the shafts and bearing sizes are different. This make it all much harder than on a 1600.... Volvo 4 piston calipers go very close to fitting without mods (weld up one bolthole and then retap the bolthole on the strut). Hilux 4 pistons are supposed to go straight on. Ive heard of plenty of people who've used commodore calipers (and some used commodore discs). Apparently old CL/CM Chrysler vented discs can be swapped on the original struts just by changing bearings. Try also Mitsubishi scorpions/sigmas...
