Went to pdm racing and checked out their brake pads. I had no idea the brake calipers were different. I guess 97-98 calipers are larger. The weirder thing is that when i went to parts.com they listed the price of the 95-96 caliper as $248 and the 97-98 as $119.

I do believe the 95-96s with abs use the same pads as the 97-98s. iirc it should just be the non abs zenkis were different

Nothing new here. '97-'98 all use the "ABS" pads/calipers/rotors. The rotor's 2mm thicker and about 5mm larger in diameter. The caliper is significantly heavier.

but does that mean all 97-98 have ABS?

no it means that with the decreasing sales the cut costs by using one set of calipers across the board.

I just recently found out about the difference from a friend of mine who has a kouki S14. He picked up some Project Mu pads for his ride only to discover that they don't fit his caliper. Lucky for me, I will give those pads a nice home on my zenki's calipers. :D

They should be ok to daily drive in, right?

yeah i noticed the 95-96s being more expensive than the 97-98s, so to set it straight for me, would 97/98 calipers fit my abs equppied 95?
