Hi Rob, Normally you would use the 1600 (SSS) or 180B arms if you can find the shorter version of either - shorter is far better turn in response and more effort but nothing too serious to ever want to change them back - if you have full adjustable frontend you can tune it to be pretty good.
I've seen 240K brakes fitted either way on a 1600 - me thinks grinding callipers involved for the inboard fitment - no problem experienced by me with outboard fitting, you'd never know from driving. One thing with outboard brakes on a 1600 is you will have to get nolathane donuts as the rubber variety just get munched in no time - i went thru 3 sets of rubber in 18 mths, got nolathane and problem fixed.
