Hey Guys, this is my first post on this forum so sorry if i write incorrectly.
I own a B310 which since owning ive resprayed, swapped in a larger A15 with alot of mods and internal work and the larger 6 series 4 speed.
I purchased a set of king springs which gave it a 35mm drop in the rear but none on the front which is odd, so ive decided on either relocating the spring seat on the front or buying a coilover insert off ground control. what im wandering is will this fit my b310 http://www.ground-control-store.com/p ... scription.php/II=61/CA=93
i know it doesnt state that it fits b310's but im pretty sure b210's are fairly similar?
any advice on going about lowering it this way etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sunny B310 with A12 uses 45mm struts
Sunny B310 with A14/A15 uses 2.0" struts

That specific Ground Control part is unknown since 1200 uses 45mm yet all USA B210 and Honeybee have 2.0" struts.

Not the same struts as a 1200. But A12-powered Sunny uses same diameter, uses the same adjustable spring perches. It should have larger brakes than a 1200 among other differences.

I e been doing some reading about the b310 aus brakes and not sure what's the go, I don't understand what brakes can be used on the 2" struts with 80mm bolt hole spacing, are these like the 180b style that take commodore setup?

Perhaps A12-powered B310 -- in Australia-assembled form -- came with the large struts? JDM and export ones came with small struts and 12" tires.

The B310 large struts are virtually the same as A10 Stanza struts. Note that Australia-assembled used locally sourced Girlock brakes instead of the Japan-assembled cars.
