Re: 240 k struts?

[Chris Simpson]

Jim and others   Yup i've got to agree with you, my 240K sruts are the correct way around, i have my brakes on the rear of the struts.  I found that i just had to shave a small amount off one ofthe caliper mounts to get it to squeeze in there.   I have a set of springs out of a KH laser, they are lowered version and fit and ride beatifully, great handling but they are not captive.   The 240K brake houses i got fitted up fine.   Combine this with 280ZX or Urvan 15/16 master cylinder and you'll have a great street brake set up!   Hope this all helps   Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Little To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 8:50 PM Subject: Re: 240 k struts? they are lighter is shortened to they're lighter. anyway i'll try and surpass your brilliant advice and actually help this guy out. I have 240k struts on my 1600 and they have not be swapped left to right. ie caliper mounts are on the rear not the front of the strut. I am sure everyone else will claim you have to switch them left to right. Don't ever cut springs, you can use the standard 240k springs but the front will sit high. You can either use 1600 springs or get lowered 240k ones. I recommend the latter. I got brake hoses from a 180b, you just have to measure and get an idea of what hose will be long enough and fit the caliper and then go to a wreckers. however the 240k ones should be fine. Good luck and i hope you have better luck than i do getting help on this group.   Kristian Walsham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Try a diff, there lighter!!!! Hehehe. sorry.
