I have a Datto 1600 with a SR20 turbo, I have 240k struts with the twin pot calipers on the front. I have just bought some RX7 Series 5 calipers but I am confused on which rotors to use. I have heard of vr4 golf rotors being used, I have heard of verada rotors being used and I have heard of nissan maxima rotors being used. Which ones are best?

No so much the best but what fits your struts!
You will need to dummy up the calipers to the strut to decide what disc will do the job.
If necessary, an adapter plate may be needed to not only convert the RX7 caliper to the strut mounts, but offset the caliper to the disc.
The Golf VR4 rotors suit the 200B struts with a custom caliper mount plate for RX7 S2 calipers.

Nissanman - correct me if i am wrong but some 240k struts are basically the same as 200b (same callipers and rotors).

The other thing is I think the golf vr4 rotors work with the s4 and s5 (2nd gen) rx7 calipers (4 pot ones). The s2 i think came with a single piston sliding calliper.

So SIK-016 i think you may be OK with this conversion depending which type of 240k struts you have.

I used 80-"something" prelude rotors, but that's on 910 struts and s5 rx7 calipers.
the Discs were 4stud original as a bonus.
