Wojee, whereabout will the original caliper lugs be on the strut? Facing the
rear of the car? Thus mounting it as per Errol's email? If so no problems -
but if you are hoping to mount it on the same side as the original caliper
lugs then you will encounter a problem where one of the original lugs and
one of the caliper mounts will always clash, not allowing you to get the
entire pad on the disc.
That is why I was considering a 300mm disc to push the calipers far away
from the original lugs so they wouldn't clash, allowing me to easily use a
bracket. One disc I found, an Audi A4T, is 288mm but I doubt an extra 8mm
will make the difference I am after!
Errol, The 300mm disc I was looking at was a 3000GT... on a 1600!! fark!! I
will check out Merc rotors though.
Do 200B struts have better wheel bearings than 1600/180b struts? What about
R31 struts, they require some adapter at the base?
Anyone wanna swap some R33 4-spots for something that FITS!!!?
