Luke,
The Hilux 200B conversion probably gives you best bang for the least
complicated buck. All other combos that are any good (apart from Nismo
Sumitomo calipers and FIA discs, involve modifying caliper mounts,
redrilling 5 stud discs or splitting & spacing caliper halves etc. The next
best combo I think is the Puegot 505 disc and cruiser caliper setup. This
is a good facsimile of the FIA (Nismo) setup. The Honda Legend discs and
Cruiser caliper setup, is so heavy you can hardly pick up a strut fitted
with these!!!! Something about sprung to unsprung weight ratios here.
Cheers
Feral Errol

Errol,
is there any easy swaps then with struts and brakes that don't require
brake
cylinder changes and spacer rings?
everyone talks about the 200B struts with hilux calipers but are there any
other alternatives?
