Hey so I have a 1999 s15 spec r and I'm in need of some brake pads and rotors, the issue I'm having is living in Canada is hard to get rhd car parts other than going on ebay and waiting 3 weeks for overpriced aftermarket parts when it's just a daily street car. I'm aware that the S15 use a 4 x 40.4mm Piston Sumitomo front caliper, same as Z32 so I'm assuming the pads and rotors are going to be the same but my issue is with the rear if the fronts are ok. Would anyone be able to tell me what vehicles share brake pads that would fit. I've searched the forums but I see mixed answers and not solid facts. Thank you.

Front is the same as Z32 pads & rotors. Rear will be the same as late model S14.
JDM S14s had the same setup.

late model s14 meaning 240sx around 1998 1997?

Yes, that's correct.
Rear rotor and pads are the same as a 97/98 240SX SE (w/ 5 lug): rotor is 258mm x 9mm
Front, again, is same as 91+ 300ZX: rotor is 280mm x 30mm

As emergency, you also could use 4pot 4Runner/Tacoma brake pads for your calipers.

pretty much all 4 pot Nissan front pads are the same, r32 gtst/gtr r33 gtst/gtr z32 s14 s15 Subaru with sumito calipers.
an s15 is basically the same as a UK / jap spec s14 suspension and mostly engine wise.
