Yep, 180b rear brakes are identical to 1600 rear brakes, so any of the info on R31 conversion for 1600's applies to 180B's as well :thumbsup:

wicked, i was also thinking maybe bluebird TRX front struts and discs, so would it be easier to put TRX discs on the back aswell because i think they may be bigger. either way would be better then the ol drums

If you use R31, you need to modify the spring seat on the strut and use different springs anyway.

Stock R31 springs won't fit inside a 1600's strut towers.
