I know this has been done before and have searched forum, but threads i have found dont answer my questions so bare with me. Want to put B310 sunny struts on my 1200 ute. What is the parts list i need for this-struts obviously, lca's etc?? and do i swap over the 1200 strut top, springs and shocks or does the whole sunny strut bolt up?? i've read holes in top of strut tower need to be drilled out, is there anyway of avoiding this??
Just want the biggest bang for my limited buck, or would a 120y upgrade just be a better and simpler option (i've read this isn't much better than standard drums though). Thanks

need to get the struts (obviously)
steering arms that attatch to the bottom of the strut
ball joint(new ones are better)
tierod ends new ones are better)
LCAs
maybe the caster arm
new brake line, flexable

just need to swap the springs and strut top from the 1200 onto the sunny struts

cool, thats a helpful start. If i swap over the top of the 1200 strut, is it still necessery to drill out the holes in the top?? for the extra amount of parts i'll need, is the braking power that much greater than 120y/coupe struts??

coz your using the top that came out of the car there is no use to mod the holes, only need to do this if you use the standard sunny tops

WHICH MASTER CYLINDER WOULD YOU USE FOR THIS SET UP?
A 120Y DISC FRONT OR THE SUNNY MASTER CYLINDER.
HAS ANY ONE FITTED THE SUNNY MASTER CYLINDER TO A 1200 UTE??
