Hey, I just picked up a pair of Q45 front calipers for my s13, and I was reading over some posts about the conversion. Someone mentioned that you may be able to use Altima rotors with Q45 calipers so you dont have to drill anything for 4 lug. Has anyone used these before, and are they any different performance wise from the Q45 rotors?

Also, can anyone reccomend any budget performance pads for the Q45's?

Thanks

Sogu, should I just use the 4 lug s13 rotor to mark it?

yes, use it as a template, and stick a 1/2 inch bolt in the hole that lines up and drill the other holes. be sure to keep everything lined up.

take it to a brake shop and they will drill it for you! otherwise save and go 5 lug like you should. i had this swap in my s13. great brakes but wait to go 5 lug! if you have more questions pm me!

im debating if i should jst take my Q45 front brakes and put it in my s13. but im also wondering id the rear breaks of the Q45 any bigger than the stock S13 brakes because i dont really see alot of people talking about swapping rear Q45 calipers to S13.
