jamesnutter50 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Can somone tell me what the differences are on the struts between the nk models as I am getting confused ! I have a set of 1800 ti early struts with small top spring platforms and they have a caliper spacing of 3" which is handed for ns os, they use the smaller pad diameter than the later 1800ti which uses the larger pad size I also have a pair of 1800 struts 67 which have the larger late style spring platform which are unhanded with a 3" caliper spacing. The question is on a 2000 nk, are the brake caliper bolts spaced at 3.5" like a 2002 tii strut ? Regards James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02tom Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I can look tonight - pertaining to the question in tge last paragraph - if there are no other replies as my struts are still off. I believe that is correct before actually measuring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpina MOJOJOY Posted October 16, 2017 Alpina Share Posted October 16, 2017 I have all 3 struts handy and can compare/measure for you. Ealry nk late nk 2002. What do you want me to measure? Just caliper spacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnutter50 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am trying to work out which strut has the best calliper bolt spacing for bigger brakes. I am looking at sending some struts off to be made into coilovers and need to decide which way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnutter50 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 also is it just the late model cars which can take the larger disc ? or a re drilled e3 vented disc ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBChris Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Late NK is same as Tii and 2800CS, all solid rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02tom Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 ...which matches the spacing for the tii calipers I haveSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpina MOJOJOY Posted October 17, 2017 Alpina Share Posted October 17, 2017 Here is the results with pics red: 02 non tii 3” black: early nk 3” rusy/dusty: late nk 3.5” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnutter50 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks for all the photos and infomation ! That confirms what I was thinking. So my plan is to get a pair of late struts fit vented e3 discs and then work out which caliper would work with single line brakes. Does anyone know a wilwood caliper that would do the job ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich02 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 you can try e23 callipers single line. I think the bolt right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
