No, I'm pretty certain that stanza ones, (built to stop an L16) are a bit bigger than the 120Y ones. Plus the stanza stuff is the step towards putting on 1600 (510) style "whopper stoppers". I'm assuming that everyone has read that Fast Fours and Rotaries magazine issue on Datto whopper stoppers?

I liked my 200B brakes, The 180B ones look crappy. Even the big axle ones. But when you fit the Verada disks and use the commodore calipers..heaven. Certainly for the street. We've had this discussion a few times, but it's the cheapest most effective brake solution for 1200s and 1600s. The consumable parts in Australia are cheap as, and when you consider these brakes are designed to stop a car more than twice the 1200's weight, you know they'll stop you nicely. Even using stock commodore pads the performance is good. If you want to race, then I'd fit the metal king high performance pads. DBA can supply cross-drilled and slotted rotors if required. The pads are so cheap you can get away with having 2 sets of different compound, and switch them for street or race use.
