to use st205s on the front you need to machine down the rotors to 300mm, and you need to tap a thread into the caliper mount holes.

Also the center hole on the st205 rotors (front only I think) are 1mm larger than the st185 ones, so you need to machine it out a few mm and get a ring made up make it sit nice

cheers for the helpful info man , any chance you know where i can source a set of coilover suspension for st185 at all

no but I can tell you it's a waste of time unless you're making it a dedicated circuit car.

The whiteline "works" handling kit should be everything you need and more

Tein do a set for the ST185, so do a few of the other big japanese suspension people I believe. There is also the option to convert your existing struts to coilovers
