Help identify my struts + possible brake upgrades! Pics (Warning 56kers!)

Gday lads,
I have a ke20 with ta22 running gear, this includes brakes.
I'm switching to a ca18det, with an r31 skyline rear end (keeping the r31 brakes), and i'm looking to do a brake upgrade. I've already purchased s4 rx7 calipers with the intention of also getting some s4 rx7 discs, and was going to get some coilovers made up with them fitted. I've since worked out that this probably won't clear my wheels (calipers going to hit the spokes) - which sucks. Don't really want to run spacers.
So, any good but easy(ish) options are what i'm chasing, the satisfaction of doing it myself would be fantastic, but if it can't happen, i suppose i'll just have to pay someone. Now, i'm told that having ta22 brakes could be in my favour, but most brake upgrades i've seen involve changing the strut/hub anyway, in which case i'm not sure that it will bolt up to the rest of my stuff, my strut tops, etc.
The only drama is i have absolutely no idea what my front gear is right now, except that the brake size does appear to match ta22, no idea about the struts, and it appears that the seats have been "persuaded" a little to seat the spring firmly.
Can anyone please identify what it all is? And recommend any options for me?
Ages ago i roughly measure them up, using string, so these are a guide only:
Gear on my ke20:
Circumfrence of strut = ~165mm
Diameter = ~52.5mm
Spring circumfrence = ~405-410mm
Spring diameter = ~130mm
Stock ke25 stuff: (assuming same as ke20, ke25 is my parts car)
Circumfrence of strut = ~155mm
Diameter = ~49.3mm
Spring Circumfrence = ~435mm
Spring Diameter = ~138mm
Take these with a grain of salt, wasn't real easy to measure.
Any help appreciated, cheers
