I was looking here:

http://www.importrp.com/catalog.php?subcat=11&year=27&type=182&subcat1=Brake+Rotors&subcat_id=11

part #25318
part #25328 (bottom of page)

the latter part number is listed to fit 96-98 240sx.
the former part is listed to fit 94-96 240sx.

I know the rear, solid rotors are identical. There is only one link on that website. In contrast, the fronts are different, and differently priced. I am not worried about the small price difference at all, but can anyone confirm or disprove if the front brake rotors are the same on ALL S14's? Or are the 95's different than the 96+?

All S14 (non-ABS) are the same.

I'd be more worried that the one listed for '94-96 would be 4-lug, like the 1994 S13s.

AAhhh...n/m...that's build-date, not year-model.

But still...I'd order the #25238

jmauld,

the two items in question do not specify whether or not they are ABS. It only says they are 5-lug, and the production dates. Which brings me to a very important point.

I have 5 lugs but NO ABS, therefore no VLSD also. From what you said above, the 5-lugs of the 95's are different from the 5 lugs of 98's, corrrect?I'd appreciate any more help. thanks everyone.

The information I have shows the same rotors for 5 lugs regardless of ABS or not.

also keep in mind that 97-98 LE's came to the usa with everything their japanese counterparts had, except for the sr20det. this means different brake systems...rotors, calipers.. etc.
