can someone tell me what i need?. i have 240k struts with caliper bolt centers of 3.5"(88mm) & solid rotors of 253mm diameter. i would like to go verada & hilux conversion but need to fit them under 14" wheels. they will be used on circut car so is there some good pads out there. all info will be usefull and great.

DO a search mate. They will not fit under 14 inch rims. This is why I did the BMW conversion. have a look in the tutorial forum for my write up.

sweet as. are the caliper kits expensive? do these calipers have the 88mm bolt hole centers? anyone know of bmw wrecker in sydney or newcastle?

they do fit inside 14's if using the 253mm rotor 240k strut, just use dba411 rotors (off a HH Galant/CC GSR Lancer - Pricey) or use dba221 (off tm,tn,tp magna) but overall diameter will need maching down ~2mm, as the setup will all bolt together, but the rotor fouls on the caliper. cant machine out caliper clearance as it will hit the brake fluid passage.
either rotor need drilling to the 240k hub pattern, 4x90 pcd i think

thanx mate. which caliper is best to use?

get the ones with S13 cast into the back of them, that suit a 24mm vented rotor.
they arent that hard to find, usually a set or two on ebay

thanx dave w. i will write something here when conversion is complete to let u know how i went.

dave. w can u confirm something 4 me. is it s13 casting on caliper? not s12. thanx steve b

yeah it will have s13 cast into them and the car its coming off will have a vented disc ~24-25mm thick
the ones with S12 will either be to suit solid disc, or ~20mm vented disc. can still use these but you'll have
to find another disc that works. also i think the S12 calipers have staggered sized pistons , where as the S13 all 4 pistons
are the same size.

I have 240k struts with redrilled 22mm U12 pintara rotors (258mm diameter) and S12+8 landcruiser calipers, spaced about 3mm back. Hub unknown sorry. They fit under 14s.

I now have S12+8 calipers opened up to suit 24mm Verada discs. Originally the space for disc is about 23.5mm, now 27mm. Easy enough to do, plenty of meat in the caliper - my mate has an Engineering workshop and did this for me for nothing.

Hey doogs.... ben meaning to ask how you got on. Any ideas how yr mate opened thm up? Did he just pull them apart and belt grind the face so it was wider? Also how much did it cost to rebuild them. They look a million dollars better than when i pulled them off the car.

BE CAREFULL IF U ARE GUNNA USE THE MACHINED DOWN MAGNA DISC. I DID THIS BUT USED RDA DISCS AND THE CALIPER AND PAD HITS ON THE HAT SECTION OF THE DISC. THEN I GOT GIVEN A PAIR OF S12 HILUX CALIPERS(THE SOLID DISC TYPE) THEN HAD TO GRIND 2MM OFF THE CALIPER UNDER THE BOTTOM MOUNTING HOLE THEN THEY BOLT STRAIGHT ON. THAT MAKES 4 SPOT CALIPER ON 240K STRUT WITH STD SOLID DISC. GOOD ENOUGH FOR HILLCLIMBS AND SPRINTS. BETTA THAN STD 240K. UNSURE ON AVAILEBLE COMP PADS
