Re: RA28 and Corona struts (bigger brakes) - queries and questions!!

well when i looked through some of the previous threads about the use of RT132 and XT130 struts with their matching brakes, people had said that it pushed the offset around 20mm further out (or the wheel track, whatever the proper word is) on each side.... i dont want this cos measuring 20mm out from my wheel on the stock RA28 puts it around 10mm outside my guard (ie illegal)
When i was measuring and inspecting the rotors and calipers from the XT130 and RT132 coronas, i noticed that the rotor appeared identical, and in fact had the same measurement from the inside face of the rotor to the face that the wheel rests on (was around 80-85mm).. the only diference i noted was that the RT132 had the opposing twin piston caliper.
When i compared this 80-85mm measurement to a stock RA23, it measured around 55-60mm, and the GA60 measures 60mm.
Now i dont know if there is a difference in the strut in that it sits further inwards on the car, but from what i thought this would mean that using the whole RT132 strut and brake would push the wheels out a further 20mm.
But anyway, i picked up myself the 248x20mm ga60 rotors (same as ra60's that i found) and their matching caliper for $50. Im now considering whether to do the Norbie style thing or do a corona strut and use a pug rotor.... its all fun!
