Mark, I've read this a couple of times and something still doesn't quite make sense to me here - a 180B/1600 strut has calliper mount bolt spacing of 76.2mm (3") which is exactly the sized struts that you've asked about. VL callipers are 76.2mm bolt spaced (that's why they're used with the Magna or Verada conversions), and the availability of good low cost pads just about anywhere in Oz. The other size calliper that Holden uses on it's family type VT/VU Commydore is 3.5" bolt spaced and they fit 200B/240K/C210 etc Nissan struts. I'm not talking about Clubsport & SS models, they use AP callipers which are very different again. The measurements that I've quoted are "centre bolt to centre bolt" - may be you've not quoted the measurements in like terms?
