Ok, I was reading somewhere that t18 front struts were exactly the same as ae86 struts, except they have a different caliper bracket (and different calipers obviously). Would this mean that the steering knuckles would be exactly the same as ae86 ones? I'm asking because I want to convert my ae71 to sprinter struts so I have half a chance of getting decent shocks, but have had trouble finding ae86 struts locally (and I know where there is a t18 I can get the struts off of).
And in regards to the calipers I noticed that the pads they take are absolutely tiny (from looking at pad listings in the catalogue) perhaps even smaller than whats already on the ae71? So my next question is are he t18 brakes adequate with decent pads/fluid or, failing that, does something else bolt to the t18 strut? And what mods would be required to make it work?
Sorry I'm so long winded, thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers, Nat
