Stuey, There isn't as budget ventilated conversion for the 200B strut (that we know of & Verada/Dunnydore combos etc require 1600/180B strut with 3" calliper bolt spacing, 200B has 3.5" spacing), however as Turbo boy says the solid rotors do a pretty good job on a 1600 especially in combo with R31 rear discs. I prefer the earlier 200B hubs as they are a tad wider but they do make the wheel offset a little more critical (100mm backspace is max with a 6" rim as you'll fowl caster rods and/or standard guards). Brake pads are the secret to this combo working well, I've used a few and the best by far are Aussie Girlock (Alloy) with Ford pistons & Paged blue pads but these are exy. Probably the best value for you're buck is Sumitomo twin spots with Bendix Ultimate pads, Sumitomo Toy 4 spots do grab real well but the wheel weight is way out of the square and I think you can only get Bendix Metal pads for these (I'm not a Metal fan). The only other problem with 200B rotors is that if you flog them they eventually warp discs unless I've got something real bad wrong with my setup as I've done a DBA Sports Rotor this time, not real badly but still it's very annoying. The other thing is if you're using a 70 or earlier xmember (i.e. with tapered balljoints) they'd better be in good shape, otherwise the end of the control arms with munch the inside of your discs for lunch under heavy braking.
