interchanging parts (brake and sus upgrade) Sun, 04 December 2005 09:13 Go to previous message
ok. just had a brain wave. i bought some ST141 struts ages ago with the intention of making coilovers for the 86.
the sleeve kit i bought fits over them perfectly, i already removed teh spring seats.
now, i am upgrading my brakes, i have a set of nissan s14 4 piston callipers. i just tried to fit them to the ST141 struts. guess what THEY DIRECTLY BOLT ONTO FACTORY POSITION
thats right, direct fit.
now i heard that these callipers bolt onto ra60 struts as well,
-does this mean the struts are the same (diameter too)?
-i dont think the ST141 strut goes on the AE86 steering arms,so
-If theh RA60 struts bolt into AE86, does this mean the RA60 bolts to the steering arm.

What im trying to get at is
Are the ST141 and RA60 struts the same diameter so i can use the sleeve kit?
and are the bolt hole spaces the same distance for brake callipers?
and does RA60 strut bolt to AE86 steering arm?

Sorry bout the long winded message and the questions, but i think i just worked out a brake upgrade without having to get calliper brackets made......info would be great
cheers
here is the ST141 strut (unshortened), nissan calliper and coilover sleeve
