I recently just bolted up some Landcruiser calipers to some c210 skyline
struts to go on my little 1200. They sit on some Honda 10" vented disc's
and so far they stop well. I've only been driving it for the last week and
a half so havent really used them that much yet. Good setup i think so far
and i havent noticed the extra weight either. There are 2 types of
landcruiser calipers tho. If your going to use them on vented disc's it
might take a bit of hunting. The solid disc type ones are alot easier to
find. cyas
