Done that too...
I race a 1200 coupe with a L18 as aclub car, (fitting SR20 as we speak).
I used 180B lower control arms, ball joints, 200B struts, 1600 strut tops
but later fitted K Mac adjustable tops from REPCO.
Also fitted Ford XD lower camber bolts, put more thread on caster rods. I
run a 1200 standard front bar and no rear bar.
Biggest problem that I have (had) was the strut towers are a bit small to
allow
full use of all the adjustments but I now have a set of 260Z struts to fit
with the small dia springs and are also shorter.
Very easy to do what most people dont do now... fit the bigger front
brakes. I have 11" vented disc with the 200B twin spots.
Well thats the way we do it in the NT...
