I have 180sx calipers, my question is i'm not getting an accurate answer on google search i know people run 4 lug altima rotors and pads to work on calipers. I'm using the 180sx rotors as well but not sure what pads to get if i should just use altima or maxima brake pads? Any advice i need to swap out my shitty S13 brakes already!!!

what modeal (Altima, Maxima) and year. thanks!

95 Maxima (or other years from that generation). For example, the Hawk HPS pads for this application is part hb268f.665 (if you go through the Hawk catalog you'll notice the pad is from various other Nissan as well)

I have a Silvia which has the same calipers.

ok so 95 maxima pads will work on the 180sx rotors then? I heard wagner is great stuff

but im not running altima rotor's, will be using 180sx rotors and calipers. Unless i missed something and altima rotors are the same size as 180sx rotors. Thanks.
