I did a search and came up empty. I know that the S15 rear calipers have a larger diameter piston than S14's (38mm). My question is can I use a pair of S15 rear calipers as a direct bolt-on while maintaining stock S14 rotors and pads?
From what I could find S15 discs are about the same size (258mm x 9mm). But I had no luck finding pad specs or anything else.
Thanks for looking.

Im sure the s15 rear brakes are the same as the s14 ones. People say that the piston is a little larger but I highly doubt its going to make any difference. Especially since you are using the same pad area. The rotors and pads should swap right over.
I think its such a pointless swap because of the fact that people try to sell s15 rear calipers for 150 dollars. Do the 300zx rear brakes. Its much more worth it.
