Andrew,
My apologies to the list. When I saw Sumitomo, I immediately thought 4 spot
works calipers not the two spot calipers from 240K and Corona etc.
Of the two spot Sumitomo's with the 90 mm lug spacing, there are both Cast
iron & Aluminium two spots. For race use the cast are better due to their
greater rigidity, but the lighter aluminium calipers also reduce unsprung
weight considerably. The 4 spot Sumitomo's only came on the "President" or
from Nissan Sport dealers to the best of my knowledge!
Cheers,
Feral Errol
