g`day,
Ive got a set of `81 hilux 4 spots with the different sized pistons,
pistons are roughly 28.5mm and 37.5mm, the pad is 105mm width and 50mm
height in centre and tapers to 35mm at the ends.
The calipers weigh approx 5kgs each(with pads and fluid).
These are the solid disc type(10-12mm disc width).
They do work quite well, they stop and feel good but do suffer from fade
after a few high speed stops, this is with shitty $25 pads tho. I dont think
there are metal kings or ultimates available for these calipers but there is
the 4WD pad, which should work pretty good under most circumstances.
Im usin the 253mm 200b strut/disc, a 7/8" dual circuit M/C, no booster and
std rear drums(atm).
Paddy
