I believe the calipers and discs on the OHC cars are bigger, so for an 1800 you'd be better going with the 1800 calipers and discs. Haven't seen an OHV setup for a while, so hopefully someone else will confirm.

Spot on that man.
Go for the 1800 setup, bigger discs & calipers. You can get EBC green stuff pads for these too.
