Terry,
So the newer 200B brakes have smaller rotors and smaller pad surface area, therefore not desirable to the enthuasiast. Why did Nissan take a step backwards with this change of brakes on the one model??
I am thinking of using R31 discs and calipers on R30 struts as I have these goods on hand. Not a bad way to upgrade to vented, plus it is all bolt-on. Apparently the R30/Bluebird strut gives a positive camber, but I will hopefully be able to counter this affect by putting 180B offset strut tops on the the R30 strut assembly. Any thoughts on this combo?
Thanks,
Damien.
