Does anyone know if 240k struts fit a 180b without major modification? I'm chasing bigger disks trying to avoid after market stuff

240K struts or 200B struts (same size disc) bolt straight in to a 180B. From memory, you need to swap them left to right and vice versa to get the calipers in a location that avoids fouling the steering arms - cant remember for sure, just check when installing.

Yep they'll fit. Is you are running bump steer spacers you'll find you most probably can run the struts in their original brake location.

I don't think i swapped my ones left to right and they fitted fine however things to note are
wont fit under the stock 13" rims
Use the 180 hat
May want to relocate the little tab on the strut where the soft line meets the hard line on the strut upwards a bit, when the suspension extends you can have clearance issues on the sway bar.
